Vol. 5 No. 2 Opisyal na Publikasyon ng Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig February 2010 Poll Automation: Handa ka na ba?

Sa bisa ng Republic Act No. 9369 o Amended Automation Election Law isang fully computerized na eleksyon ang aasahan ng buong Pilipinas sa darating na Mayo 10, 2010. Noong nakaraang eleksyon (Mayo 2007) pa sana ipatutupad ang automated election ngunit ito’y ipinagpaliban ng Commission on Elections dahil sa kakulangan nila ng panahon para sa paghahanda. At ngayon ay handang handa na nga ba COMELEC para sa poll automation, ang nananatiling katanungan ay ang kahandaan ng masang Pilipino na boboto. Ang Precinct Counting Optical Scan o PCOS ang sistemang gagamitin ng COMELEC. Dito, kinakailangan lamang itiman ng botante ang bilog na katapat ng pangalan ng kandidato na nasa isang specially printed na balota. Pagkatapos, ang balota ay ipapasok sa isang PCOS machine o optical mark reader na siya ngayong magbibilang ng mga boto. Sa kabuuan, 82,200 PCOS machines ang gagamitin sa buong bansa at ito ay ipapakalat sa lahat ng presinto. Nauna ng dumating sa Pilipinas ang 40,000 na PCOS machines na nasa pangangalaga ngayon ng COMELEC. Patuloy pa rin naman ang pagdating ng iba pang PCOS machines sa bansa at inaasahang makukumpleto ito isang linggo bago ang February 21 na deadline-tatlng buwan bago tayo bumoto. Limang kagamitan ang gagamitin para sa Automated Elections. Ito ay 1) counting machine, 2) Data Storage, 3) Computer Set, 4) National Ballot at 5) Local Ballot. Mayroon ding Board of Election Inspector, na pawing mga guro, na binubuo ng tatlong miyembro na siyang magbabantay sa magaganap na botohan at bilangan sa presinto. Ang Smartmatic-TIM ay maglalaan ng mga generators sa bawat municipal na pagdadausan ng halalan. Ito ay upang maiwasan ang ilang aberya na maaaring mangyari sa araw ng eleksyon. Isa sa kalamangan ng bagong sistemang ito (PCOS) ay mapapadali ang bilangan ng boto at hindi na tatagal ng ilang buwan upang malaman kung sino’ng mga nanalo. Naniniwala ang COMELEC na sa pamamagitan ng PCOS Sundan sa pg 12...

Poll... mula sa pg 1 maiiwasan ang mga dayang nagaganap tuwing bilangan. Dagdag pa nila, ito ang daan upang magkaroon ng isang malinis na halalan sa Pilipinas. Wala na ring kahon ng balota ang maaaring nakawin sapagkat ang mga boto ay hinahatid electronically gamit ang PCOS machines. Mayroon ding di-magandang dulot ang paggamit ng PCOS. Isa na rito ay sa panig ng mga katutubong hindi marunong bumasa at sumulat. Ngunit ang talagang ikinababahala ng ilan ay ang mga dayaang maaaring maganap at kung paano ito isasagawa. Maaari ding mabalewala ang boto ng isang tao. Halimbawa, 12 Senador lamang ang dapat iboto ng isang botante kaya dapat 12 na bilog din ang maiitiman niyang bilog sa kanyang balota at kung mangyari na sumobra siya ng isa at 13 na bilog ang maitiman, ang lahat ng boto para sa mga senador ay mababalewala. Hindi ito bibilangin ng PCOS machine kaya masasayang ang boto ng mga botante. Ang angulong ito ang tinitingnan ng ilang IT experts at mga mambabatas upang imungkahi sa COMELEC ang “Open Election System” kung saan automated pa rin ang botohan ngunit mananatiling manwal ang bilangan. Hindi ito sinangayunan ni COMELEC Chairman Jose Melo sa kadahilanang labag ito sa batas. Nakasaad sa Republic Act No. 9369 na automated ang botohan pati ang bilangan. Anuman ang isuhestiyon ng mga IT experts hindi ito pakikinggan ng COMELEC dahil tuloy ang poll automation sa Mayo. Mahigit tatlong buwan na lang at tayo ay boboto na. Wala nang makapipigil sa Poll Automation, dahil sa paniniwala ng Comelec na kakayanin natin kahit sila’y patuloy na nagmamadali at naghahabol sa mga kakailanganin pa. Gayun pa man, makiisa na lamang tayo at alamin natin ang proseso ng magaganap na eleksyon sa pamamagitan ng pakikiisa sa mga voter’s education programs na inilulunsad ng iba’t ibang organisasyon sa ating komunidad. Magmatiyag at makibalita sa TV at radyo. Sa mga kamay natin nakasaalay ang susunod na PILIPINAS.
