kudos to Smarmatic!!!!

[shadow]

for me successful ang first partial automated election natin

ang bilis ng results. then most peaceful election pa ngayon. I'm expecting a barrage of complaints to COMELEC from losing candidates in the coming days.

VP race na lang ang exciting but medyo mahirapan na siguro si Roxas, sayang!

hulaan na lang natin kung sino unang mag concede.

[[archie]]

for me naman, it remains to be seen...

kung tally lahat ng manual and pcos machines... ok. if not, then, gulo na yan.

[rion]

it remains to be seen... so far, I'm not impressed. late in everyting, last minute change sa CF cards. and considering this is the first time comelec extended the closing time. also took me 6 hours if I waited on the polls.


website tracking result vote is good, but I bet other companies can do much much better...

[tabularasa]

Well, the Comelec tally for President and Vice President is always UNOFFICIAL because it is the Congress acting as National Board of Canvassers that has the Official Results for the said positions. Kaya we still have to be vigilant, evil lurks in the halls of that institution!

[Chikselog]

For me it was good. Although not really peaceful. And although we really can't be sure na baka may uber genius hacker, di rin natin masasabi. Kudos na rin sa COMELEC, working round the clock. Si Commissioner Larrazabal inaantok na

The transmission of the results were fast! Not bad na rin considering first time lang tayo gagamit ng system na 'to. Reasonable na rin na aabot hanggang bukas yung counting.

Most of all, we also have to thank the media and their superb effort in bringing us the latest news .

Ano ba yan! Para akong nagpapasalamat sa mga sponsors :rofl:

Anyways, we must still be observative sa mga pupwedeng mangyari. Sana bukas may proclamation na sa lahat ng positions hehe.

[explorer]

kudos?! what are you talking about?

do you know that the country was in the brink of make or break it because of their incompetence? the country was in very volatile situation in the last couple of days. they put everyone into doubts if we can make it. it was not part of the plan. from the start of the bidding...they declared that the machine should be ready weeks before the election and the machines should be 99.9% free from issues.

a typical pwede-na-mentality again.

[claRkEnt]

malaki ang kinita nag SMartmatic (and the KOMISYONers sa comelec) considering the huge budget vs the quality of the product and services rendered.

[jaymd]

kudos sa comelec, teachers, poll watchers, volunteers. smartmatic

[CVT]

^^^ Agree with you bro. CK.. With such huge expense, we should have something that is a lot better and more (like a computerized voter's list, in the voting areas so that voter's would not rely on looking for their names under a pile of papers. This took a lot of time from a lot of voters yesterday). Like huge digital displays to guide the people on what next steps to follow et. al....

9808:goodluck:

[CVT]

kudos sa comelec, teachers, poll watchers, volunteers. smartmatic

OT: I know that a lot of them have put in their personal best yesterday, most especially the teachers...

However, crowd control was really pathetic... They should have mobilized the volunteers and poll watchers to manage the swarm of people so that they do not crowd the voting areas... They terribly failed here... Nandoon lahat ng tao!

9808:goodluck:

At 7.2 billion pesos, we should expect zero glitches from these machines. Yes, that's not a typo. How many machines? 82,000, + 2,000. If we do the math, that's a whopping P 85,000 per machine. With the prices of computers now, don't you think that a this scanner is grossly overpriced? More importantly, can't transmit the results up to now? C'mon people! We should be more vigilant. Our pwede na yan attitude, as it has been said, has gotten the better of us if you think that this is a success. We just barely passed the standard. At P85,000 per machine, I don't expect glitches on the basic functionalities i.e. CF cards, and modems. You don't get your cars without the engine, or the brakes, or the steering not working, right?

dati ang matagal ay yung resulta. ngayon ang matagal ay ang pila sa botohan.

[vito corleone]

comelec chairman melo should resign for his performance in this ill-prepared elections. . .it was very evident even before the elections. . .he was claiming being 98% ready on saturday while a lot of pcos machines have yet to be delivered and tested. . .the hardships that the voters and the bei's experienced yesterday only attested to that

also, smartmatic needs to answer to the faulty machines and the trouble they caused

in the brink probably, but did we? doubts are always there for new system. pero tapos na ang election and generally it was successful, more or less nakikita na natin ang results in 1 day.


70K+ PCOS machines and 300 or 3K+ lang ang nag bug down. batting average maganda.

as for the glitches it is acceptable since this is the first time that we do this automation.

call spade a spade. your saying Smartmatic didn't deliver what they have promise? it's not perfect but pasadong pasado.

typical pinoy mentality damn if you do, damn if you don't...puro reklamo sa mabagal at manual election and yet reklamo pa rin sa mabilis at automated election..

huwag mainit ang ulo pag natalo ang bet...

[oliver1013]

Oks na din yan, sa susunod logistics nalang aayusin. Yun nga lang didiskartehan na ng madadaya yung next election.

[battaglin]

for me pasadong-pasado. konting fine tuning na lang sa manner ng pagboto.
although I could see that may fault din mga botante, typical pinoy e mahilig sumingit at mang-gulang.
good thing dun sa cluster precint namin e maayos nag-sipila ang voters.
Tapos ako ng 45mins.
300 out of 76,000 machines failing? 0.39% lang yan.
typical birth pains lang yan.

[mrpink]

i wonder how the audit is doing .. given na mabilis lang naman yung automated count .. that should have freed up the folks to startup the manual audit ..

[Monseratto]

Everyone likes to find something to complain about, kaya the crab mentality is alive and well. Given the time Congress took to pass and release funding, bidding and purchase of the machine, the memory card mess and how some politicians didn't even want the electronic count, it was short of a miracle the election even took place. Now eveyone are wowed by how quickly the results came out, and how little evidence of cheating were reported from the use of the PCOS machines (Has any news network interviewed those so-called IT doomsayers lately?). Just be happy the Philippines elections finally took its first steps into the electronic age.

+1, nawala na mga naysayers....hehehe

[ghosthunter]

I am still concerned that election cheating might have happened under our very noses. Like "adjusted" results in the local level election results.

The computers used could have adjusted the actual results to the "preferred" results automatically by their software. As we have seen days before the actual election, the numbers reported by the PCOS machines sometimes do not match (not even close) to the actual count on the test ballots.
