VOTERS' EDUCATION in HIGH SCHOOL


COMELEC bats for inclusion of voter ed in High School curriculum
 18 May 2012

COMELEC-Education & Information Department

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) announced Friday that it supports a bill that seeks to make voter education mandatory in the High School curriculum.
House Bill No. 5784, introduced by Paranaque Rep. Edwin L. Olivarez, states that voters’ education should be taught to Fourth Year High School students in both public and private schools including those that are enrolled in the Alternative Learning System (ALS).
The bill tasks the Department of Education (DepEd), the COMELEC and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to develop a common curriculum that shall include: Values Formation; Importance of the right to suffrage and the sanctity of the ballot; Factors in evaluating and choosing candidates, and; the Electoral Process in the Philippines.
COMELEC Commissioner and Voter Education Champion Elias R. Yusoph lauded the measure, saying that this would be “a big boost to the COMELEC’s continuing effort to educate the electorate, most especially the youth, on the value of the people’s right to suffrage and on the rudiments of the electoral process.”

MESSAGE

HON. ELIAS R. YUSOPH
Commissioner
Commission on Elections

 At the outset, I would like to personally congratulate Congressman Edwin L. Olivares for coming up with House Bill No. 5784 or “An Act Making Voters’ Edu­cation Mandatory in the High School Cur­riculum both Public and Private Schools and Appropriating Funds Therefor”. The Commission on Elections welcomes with keenness this remarkable bill. Personally, it is my belief that this bill would become a piece of legislation as voters’ education is a significant prelude for a successful elec­toral exercise.
For so long a time, Comelec is the rud­der and the forefront of the country’s vot­ers’ education and information campaign. This is so because it is the sole agency mandated with the duty to educate the public and fully inform the electorate of matters relative to the conduct of the free and fair elections. Pursuant to this duty, we have made voters’ education a priority policy, hence, part of our five-year strate­gic plan called COMSTRAT 1116.
As champion commissioner of voters’ edu­cation, I would say that the conception of House Bill No. 5784 is most appropriate; not only for purposes of the 2013 National and Local Elections, but for a sustainable and genuine election reform. By includ­ing voters’ education in the curriculum, the correct perspective or mindset would be in­culcated in the young and receptive minds of our children. We can then envision a set of leaders chosen by the electorate through intelligent evaluation of platforms and track records, not for popularity, name-recall or monetary reason.
I can assure the Honorable Congressman that when this bill gets legislated, Comelec, through our Education and Information De­partment headed by Dir. James B. Jimenez, would put forth best efforts to achieve the purpose for which this bill was conceived. The legal and technical assistance Comelec can offer would be discussed in detail dur­ing the open-forum.

ON PREMATURE CAMPAIGNING

On Premature Campaigning
05.06.2012 · by  James Jimenez · in COMELEC

If someone tells you that the ad he put out – or the tarps he strung across the street, or the placards he nailed to trees – isn’t premature campaigning because he didn’t use the words “VOTE FOR ME,” then he’s wrong. Any material that promotes the election or defeat of a candidate is considered campaign material. The actual words used are immaterial. After all, can a poster with a person’s name be any less a promotion of him than a poster with his name and the words VOTE FOR ME? If anything, that exhortation is quite redundant.

However, the offense of premature campaigning is not defined only by the content of the materials, but more importantly by [a] the character of the person either benefited or disadvantaged by the materials, and [b] the timing of the release of those materials.

The Character of the Character

The person being boosted – or trashed – by the materials must be a candidate, first and foremost. If he isn’t a candidate, then the materials – even with “VOTE FOR ME” prominently displayed – will NOT be considered as being in the nature of campaign materials. It is just free speech. Remember, anyone with money to burn can churn out posters, tarps, streamers and flyers that praise him and his accomplishments, as a matter of right.

A candidate, on the other hand, has to accept reasonable limitations on his right of self-expression – and self-promotion – in the greater interest of leveling to level the “playing field between the popular or rich candidates, on one hand, and the lesser-known or poorer candidates, on the other, by allowing them to campaign only within the same limited period.”

Sounds simple enough, til you consider the definition of the designation “candidate.”

The Supreme Court, in a Resolution dated November 25, 2009, said:

Section 79(a) of the Omnibus Election Code defines a “candidate” as “any person aspiring for or seeking an elective public office, who has filed a certificate of candidacy x x x.” The second sentence, third paragraph, Section 15 of RA 8436, as amended by Section 13 of RA 9369, provides that “[a]ny person who files his certificate of candidacy within [the period for filing] shall only be considered as a candidate at the start of the campaign period for which he filed his certificate of candidacy.”

Okay then. In order to be called a “candidate,” a person must have [a] filed a certificate of candidacy, and [b] the campaign period for the election he’s running in must have started.

Now how many of these people, who have started putting up ads and such, qualify? Zilch. For this reason alone, no case can be made for premature campaigning against anyone at this time.

But it doesn’t end there. In fact, it only gets trickier from here on out.

The Timing

Before going into this rather tangetial discussion on the timing of the release of ads and posters, keep in mind that under the Automation Law [RA 8436, as amended by RA 9369] the period for the filing of certificates of candidacy starts and ends earlier than usual. Thus, there are several weeks in between the last day of filing COCs and the actual start of the campaign period. This is radically different from the election calendar before automation when the last day for filing of COCs was usually the day before the campaign period.

Because of this change, and because of the language of the automation law, there has been a lot of question about what candidates can and cannot do in that long interval between filing their COCs and the start of the campaign period. This is the question the Court sought to answer in Penera v. COMELEC.

In the main decision in Penera v. COMELEC [GR181613, 11 September 2009] the Court essentially ruled that, while a person officially becomes a “candidate” only at the start of the campaign period, the filing of a COC makes explicit his intention to run for office. Thus, even before the campaign period actually starts, acts like holding rallies and putting up posters and such, “can be logically and reasonably as for the purpose of promoting his/her intended candidacy.”

Thus, “When the campaign period starts and said person proceeds with his/her candidacy, his/her intent turning into actuality, we can already consider his/her acts, after the filing of his/her COC and prior to the campaign period, as the promotion of his/her election as a candidate, hence, constituting premature campaigning, for which he/she may be disqualified. Also, conversely, if said person, for any reason, withdraws his/her COC before the campaign period, then there is no point to view his/her acts prior to said period as acts for the promotion of his/her election as a candidate. In the latter case, there can be no premature campaigning as there is no candidate, whose disqualification may be sought, to begin with.

To simplify that even further, what the Court was saying that once the campaign period starts, people who have filed their COCs can be made accountable for “campaigning” activities that they undertook during the long interval between filing COCs and the start of the campaign period.

To visualize:

However, barely two months later, the Supreme Court set aside this ruling [Penera v. COMELEC, GR181613, 25 November 2009].

According to the Court, the fact that Congress wrote into the law that  “any unlawful act or omission applicable to a candidate shall take effect only upon the start of the campaign period,” gave rise to inescapable and logical result that those acts – “campaigning” included - are lawful.

“In layman’s language, this means that a candidate is liable for an election offense only for acts done during the campaign period, not before. The law is clear as daylight — any election offense that may be committed by a candidate under any election law cannot be committed before the start of the campaign period. In ruling that Penera is liable for premature campaigning for partisan political acts before the start of the campaigning, the assailed Decision ignores the clear and express provision of the law.

The Decision rationalizes that a candidate who commits premature campaigning can be disqualified or prosecuted only after the start of the campaign period. This is not what the law says. What the law says is “any unlawful act or omission applicable to a candidate shall take effect only upon the start of the campaign period.” The plain meaning of this provision is that the effective date when partisan political acts become unlawful as to a candidate is when the campaign period starts. Before the start of the campaign period, the same partisan political acts are lawful. (provided the emphasis, btw.)

The law does not state, as the assailed Decision asserts, that partisan political acts done by a candidate before the campaign period are unlawful, but may be prosecuted only upon the start of the campaign period. Neither does the law state that partisan political acts done by a candidate before the campaign period are temporarily lawful, but becomes unlawful upon the start of the campaign period. This is clearly not the language of the law. Besides, such a law as envisioned in the Decision, which defines a criminal act and curtails freedom of expression and speech, would be void for vagueness.

Congress has laid down the law — a candidate is liable for election offenses only upon the start of the campaign period. This Court has no power to ignore the clear and express mandate of the law that “any person who files his certificate of candidacy within [the filing] period shall only be considered a candidate at the start of the campaign period for which he filed his certificate of candidacy.” Neither can this Court turn a blind eye to the express and clear language of the law that “any unlawful act or omission applicable to a candidate shall take effect only upon the start of the campaign period.”

As a result, it would appear that in the interval between the last day for the filing of the COC and the start of the campaign period, even those who have already filed their certificates of candidacy won’t be liable for premature campaigning. I suppose the inevitable question here is, did the Supreme Court not see this?

The forum for examining the wisdom of the law, and enacting remedial measures, is not this Court but the Legislature. This Court has no recourse but to apply a law that is as clear, concise and express as the second sentence, and it’s immediately succeeding proviso, as written in the third paragraph of Section 15 of RA 8436, as amended by RA 9369.

Apparently, they did. By dropping such a clear hint for Congress, the Court signified that its own misgivings would not move it to go beyond the scope of its powers. This loophole was created by law, one can imagine the Court saying. And it is the lawmakers who have to plug it. In essence, this was the same dilemma that the COMELEC found itself in back in 2009, and even now, almost two years later.

Back then, most candidates did the honorable thing and the interval passed with fewer political ads and posters than we were expecting, considering the carte blanche handed to them by the reconsideration of the Penera decision. It remains to be seen however, if similar restraint will be exercised beginning October 6, 2012.

In the meantime, we return to the issue of adverts, posters, streamers and what-not, starting to clutter our field of vision now.

In both the main decision and the reconsideration of Penera, the Court consistently indicated that even acts which are clearly partisan or self-promotional in nature, cannot be considered “campaigning,” much less premature campaigning. They are therefore not illegal, falling well within the ambit of free speech.

Unfortunately, these acts are the very same ones that nearly everyone wants the COMELEC to do something about. At the risk of the COMELEC being labeled “helpless,” as we so often are when it comes to this topic, the fact of the matter remains that if something is legal, then there really is nothing that can be done about it.

As far as I know, Congress ought to already be aware of the existence of this loophole since notice of it came directly from a co-equal branch of government. However, apart from the many public pronouncements made by the COMELEC in 2009, these concerns have also been brought up with the appropriate committees in Congress.

Small comfort, I guess.

SC HEARS PCOS PURCHASE


SUPREME COURT hears PCOS purchase

May 02, 2012. Supreme Court justices started the oral arguments on three petitions consolidated into one seeking the nullity of the Commission on Elections’ P1.8 billion purchase of 2010 automated election system (AES) provider Smartmatic-TIM’s precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines. Petitioners allege that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) committed grave abuse of discretion and violated Republic Act No. 9184 or the Government Procurement Act when it bought on “option purchase” 82,000 precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines from Smartmatic-Total Information Management (TIM) without public bidding. Petitioners also added that there were glitches, delays, defects and technical problems in the May 10, 2010 National and Local elections that violated Republic Act No. 9369 (Automated Election System Act).

First to present arguments are petitioners,  Davao City Archbishop Fernando Capalla, former Marawi City Mayor Omar Solitario Ali and former Quezon City Rep. Mary Ann Susano, through her lawyer Dean Abraham Espejo of the New Era College of Law, who said that Comelec committed grave abuse of discretion when it inked a deal to buy 82,000 PCOS machines, with the deed of sale signed last March 27, 2012. He said that since Comelec was purchasing PCOS machines for another set of elections, impliedly, a new bidding process among possible providers must have been conducted by the Commission on Elections since the former contract expired on December 31, 2010 and said contract covered only the 2010 polls.

Dean Abraham Espejo told the High Tribunal that the Deed of Sale signed by Smartmatic-TIM and the Comelec for the purchase of the PCOS should be nullified for violating the Government Procurement Act. Dean Espejo claimed that the September 2009 Comelec and Smartmatic-TIM contract was for the lease of an automated election system for purposes of 2010 elections, while the option to purchase recently entered into by the Comelec and Smartmatic-TIM was intended to be use in the May 13, 2013 National and Local Elections, thus making said contract unlawful, thus illegal. Espejo stressed, “Comelec could not validly accept the extension of time unilaterally extended by Smartmatic because that is tantamount to the Comelec entering into another agreement…that under the law requires a different bidding,” Espejo told the high court. They added that any purchase of technology and election systems for use in the 2013 midterm polls should have to undergo public bidding.

During interpellation several magistrate asked Dean Espejo if the contract to purchase may fall under any of the 5 exceptions to the conduct of public bidding found in the Government Procurement Act? Dean Espejo answered negative.

Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco said the contract pertained to the same set of PCOS machines, and that it should not be confined to the 2010 polls and was intended to be used in the next election.

"The title of the [original] contract pertains to the 2010 elections. There was no mention of the 2013 elections. We contend that if there will be an expansion, there should be expanded provisions of the contract if it would pertain to future elections," Espejo said.

Justice Velasco, on the other hand, asked Espejo if the purchase of the PCOS machines for the 2013 elections could qualify as direct contracting, which is also an exception under the government procurement act.

Under the law, direct contracting could be done under the following conditions:

a. Procurement of goods of proprietary nature, which can be obtained only from the proprietary source, i.e. when patents, trade secrets and copyrights prohibit others from manufacturing the same item;

b. When the procurement of critical components from a specific manufacturer, supplier or distributor is a condition precedent to hold a contractor to guarantee its project performance, in accordance with the provisions of his contract; or,

c. Those sold by an exclusive dealer or manufacturer, which does not have sub-dealers selling at lower prices and for which no suitable substitute can be obtained at more advantageous terms to the government.

Velasco further asked, "Is there any supplier in the world of PCOS machines in these kind?" Espejo answered in the negative.

He noted though that Comelec should still be held liable because it did not specify in its recent contract with Smartmatic that the purchase of the PCOS machines is an exception under the law.

Justice Martin Villarama asked Espejo if his camp was assailing the purchase of the PCOS because they preferred using Optical Mark Reader (OMR) machines.

Espejo said his camp does not prefer any kind of machine to be used next May, adding that he will let the Comelec make the choice.

Associate Justice Arturo Brion, meantime, asked questions regarding the timeline from the signing of the 2010 automation contract up to the date the option to purchase lapsed. He asked Espejo, if at any point in the said period, did Comelec decide to purchase all 82,000 machines.

Espejo answered in the negative, but said he did not know why the Comelec “mysteriously” did not do so and only decided to purchase the machines two months ago.

It was during Brion’s questioning where it was established that the machines, while purchased at a relatively lower price, are not brand new.

Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno asked Espejo if the purchase may not be considered a “repeat order” in which case a bidding may not be undertaken. A repeat order, as defined in the law, is allowed when "the procuring entity directly procures goods from the previous winning bidder whenever there arises a need to replenish goods procured under a contract previously awarded through competitive bidding."

Lawyer Abraham Espejo, however, pointed out that this will amount to an “overstretching of the law.”

Associate Justice Sereno,  said that the Comelec took over 360 days to finalize the contract with Smartmatic-Total Information Management’s (TIM), which provided the PCOS machines in the 2010 elections. Justice Sereno pointed out that there may not be enough time for the Comelec to conduct a public bidding and prepare for the technology and system to be used in the 2013 polls. “Do we have enough days to do another bidding?” Sereno asked the counsel for petitioners.

“The Comelec has enough time,” lawyer Abraham Espejo said, adding that the Comelec has enough intelligent people to study and come up with a new contract.

Sereno also asked if there would be enough time to train election officers to use the election machines. Espejo said the correct posture would be for the Comelec to hire experts that would assist in the operation of the machines.

“Are you now telling us that the Comelec violated the procurement law… regardless of the consequence, we must now proceed with a new bidding. That’s what you are telling us right now, that we have no moral responsibility at all… whether the 2013 elections succeed or not,” Sereno told Espejo.

However, Dean Abraham Espejo  stood his ground and stressed that the Comelec should not be allowed to violate the law.

“The choice is not whether or not we will have automated elections in 2013. I think the choice is whether we will allow the Comelec to violate the Procurement Law. Beyond that is a matter of policy… and I’m sure that the Comelec, with all its resources, can find a viable alternative. We cannot abandon the law simply because it looks good to abandon it and neither can we abandon the law because of a stretched interpretation of the law,” he said.

When asked by Justice Antonio T. Carpio if they would have objected if the Comelec exercised the option to purchase before the original Dec. 31, 2010 expiry date, Mr. Espejo said: "That is debatable."

"Our position is it is illegal to extend the period for another purpose (the 2013 elections)," Atty. Espejo said. "For as long as the extension has something to do with the 2010 elections, we will have no objection. Otherwise, this would be subject to regular bidding."

At this point, Justice Carpio said: "Your legal theory does not stand scrutiny. You have to do better than that."

Ex-Comelec Commissioner Augusto "Gus" Lagman supporting the petitioners, on the sidelines of the oral arguments stress that the purchase is not an exception. He said it is not allowed under the procurement act because extending the option in itself is a violation of the terms of reference of the original contract.

“The (deadline for) purchase already expired and the extension of deadline means substantial modification of the reference,” Lagman said.

Lagman said Comelec should have not renewed the contract with Smartmatic because the technical glitches in the PCOS machines were not addressed. “Proof of the problems is that they were trying to repair it. That is an admission that there is problem with the machines,” he said.

He cited the use of “worm,” or a medium where results are recorded and which is not rewritable. He said this means the machines may be tampered with using an ordinary laptop. “It was very vulnerable to tampering. It does not have enough security features and has no digital signatures, which were supposed to be given by election inspectors rather than the machine,” he said.

Lagman, an expert in poll automation whose appointment to Comelec failed to pass the confirmation of the powerful Commission on Appointments (CA) was not renewed by President Benigno Aquino III, also revealed that the PCOS machines used in the 2010 polls had no mechanism “to check the authenticity of the ballots and votes supposedly shown.”

Lagman likewise said Comelec committed grave abuse of discretion in approving the contract through Resolution No. 9376, in spite of the recommendation of the Comelec Advisory Council (CAC) under a resolution issued last Feb. 8. CAC said Comelec should look for better options for the May 2013 elections.

The petitioners said the contract also violated Section 10 of RA 9369 or the Automated Election System law, which mandates that for the May 10, 2010 election and succeeding automated elections, the system to be used “must have demonstrated capability and been successfully used in a prior electoral exercise here or abroad.”

When asked by Associate Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno if he thinks the technical glitches were irreparable, Lagman said: “I just don’t think they still have the time to do it. Smartmatic had the last two years to correct it but they did not,” he said.

Ask for comment Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes on the matter, he did not address the question on Comelec's transaction as a possible exception, but said that he is puzzled by the arguments of the petitioners. He dismissed the argument of petitioners and stood firm too on his belief that the new contract did not violate any law.

“They said there should be new bidding because supposedly we can’t use the machines for 2013 since they’re only for 2010. But that is incorrect because there’s an option to purchase,” he told reporters after the hearing.

Chairman Brillantes also said they had intended to use the PCOS machines in subsequent elections, insisting that the Comelec need not explicitly state in the original contract whether it plans to use the same machines for the 2013 elections.

He said it was only a matter of time when the Comelec would purchase the machines, adding that the government did not buy the machines before 2012 because it had no use for them yet.

“That would have required expenses for warehousing, manpower, maintenance when those are not yet necessary. What do you want us to do – for the government to spend for those expenses when the machines were not yet needed until 2013?” he said.

Petitioners are Davao City Archbishop Fernando Capalla, former Marawi City Mayor Omar Ali, and former Quezon City Rep. Mary Anne Susano, Solidarity for Sovereignty (S4S) represented by Ma. Linda Montayre, Ramon Pedrosa, Benjamin Paulino, Sr., Evelyn Coronel, and Nelson Montayre and the Automated Election System (AES) Watch led by former Vice President Teofisto Guingona. They all sought the issuance of a temporary restraining order and nullification of the extended contract between Comelec and Smartmatic-TIM.

DILG CHIEF URGED LGUs


Prepare Detainee Voting, LGUs Urged
By Czarina Nicole Ong
May 2, 2012, 2:47pm

MANILA, Philippines - The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) yesterday directed local chief executives (LCEs) to comply with the recently-promulgated resolution regarding the guidelines on detainee registration and voting to ensure that detainees still qualified to vote shall be allowed to register and exercise their suffrage as residents.

In his Memorandum Circular No. 2012-66, Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo said that LCEs, regional directors, and the governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao must comply with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Resolution No. 9371, or the “Rules and Regulations on Detainee Registration and Voting in Connection with the May 13, 2013 National and Local Elections and Subsequent Elections Thereafter.”

This was agreed upon during a meeting between the DILG and the Comelec’s Committee on Detainee Voting, headed by Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, on March 10.

In her memorandum, Director Esmeralda Amora-Ladra of the Comelec’s Law Department said that detainees are among “certain sectors in our society whose members, though qualified, are effectively deprived of their right to cast their votes.”

She recalled that detainees were previously not allowed to register to vote or transfer their registration records to the place of their confinement, impeding them from participating in the May 2010 elections.

Ladra, however, cited Section 9 of Republic Act No. 8189 stating that persons at least 18 years old, residents of the Philippines for at least a year, and of the place they wish to register in as voters for at least six months, shall be allowed to register.

She added that detainees as well as persons who temporarily live in other places for other reasons such as work should be allowed to register and vote in their temporary residence.

Moreover, through the promulgated resolution, detainees may now enlist in their respective detention centers through satellite registration for the forthcoming 2013 elections.

Meanwhile, detainees who are registered in other areas or prisoners in detention centers without established special polling centers must be escorted to their respective polling places.

Those who are registered in other areas may apply for transfer of registration records to the place of their confinement.

The Committee on Detainee Voting will be working together with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Bureau of Corrections, Commission on Human Rights, watch groups, and some non-government organizations in safeguarding the detainees’ right to vote.

During the campaign period, candidates shall also be allowed to enter detention centers but must still comply with the rules and regulations provided by the BJMP and Comelec.

To maintain order, the BJMP said that the division of detainee voters will be done by listing together detainee voters belonging to the same district.

In connection with this, the BJMP also said that registered detainee voters that are released as of the last working day of February of the election year will be excluded from the BJMP list.

They will also give the Election Officer an updated list of detainees who are released from the first Monday of March up to the date of the submission of the list.

Special polling places will be established in an area inside the jail spacious enough to accommodate more than 10 people to ensure that voting will be completed while there is still sufficient time to deliver all the accomplished ballots to the different precincts where detainees are registered.

A special precinct will also be established in case there are more than 500 detainee voters.

VOTERS' PLEDGE

I am a Responsible and Principled Citizen.

I will educate myself and others about the issues at hand so that my vote is a meaningful and relevant exercise of my right of suffrage.

I pledge to vote for candidates who will abide by the duly constituted rules on campaigning because I understand that those who refuse to obey the law in the little things are not likely to obey the law in the more important things;

I pledge to vote for candidates who, by word and action, renounce violence, coercion, vote-buying, and corruption as means for getting elected;

I pledge to vote for the candidates who listen to their constituents and are responsive to the needs and aspirations of those they seek to represent;

I pledge to vote as my conscience dictates in all elections.

I make these promises freely and upon my honor.

(This Voter Pledge was read at the Unity Walk of 13 January 2013, by COMELEC Commissioner Elias R. Yusoph)
