Sen. Chiz Escudero: Pres. Gloria Arroyo should go to jail

President Arroyo and family will be prosecuted and send to jail

Known presidential aspirants yesterday said they will prosecute current President Arroyo and work to send her to jail, but only if there is evidence that she has illegally enriched herself while in power and position.

Speaking before the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Leaders Forum of the United Nations and the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (Focap) in Makati City, former President Joseph Estrada, Senators Francis Escudero and Richard Gordon, environmentalist Nick Perlas, and Olongapo City Councilor John Carlos de los Reyes said they will not block attempts to prosecute Mrs. Arroyo and other alleged corrupt officials who served her administration for any wrongdoing.

“If there is an order to file an information for a non-bailable offense, or if she is convicted by final judgment, and should therefore go to jail, the next president must simply do his job to implement the law and put her in jail,” said Escudero.

Poll automation pitfall: Smartmatic subcontractoring privileges

Smartmatic picks new subcontractor for PCOS machines

abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak

Is it a violation of the poll automation contract? 

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has ordered Smartmatic-Total Information Management (TIM) to explain its contract with a Shanghai-based company after the winning consortium informed the government about a change in the firm that will produce the poll automation machines.

Smartmatic-TIM, which bagged the project to modernize the May 2010 polls, appears to have subcontracted to yet another firm the order to manufacture the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines.

It informed the Comelec this week that Qisdi, an electronics firm, will now be manufacturing the machines under the supervision of its subsidiary, Taiwan-based Jarl-tech.

In the bidding to automate the polls, one of the credentials presented by the Barbados-based Smartmatic was that Jarl-tech would manufacture the PCOS machines. In its website, Smartmatic said it has been working with Jarl-tech since 2004.

Other bidders, however, questioned the inclusion of a third party, Jarl-tech, to the poll automation project, but Comelec still awarded the project to Smartmatic.

There is no doubt why people and opposition leaders wary about poll automation. First,  Smartmatic subcontracted the delivery of PCOS machines to a forwarding firm, To Go, owned by the Aboitiz family that is closely identified with the First Family.

Second, Smartmatic is now transferring or picking a new subcontractor from the land of the controversial multi-million dollar Arroyo government contractor, the ZTE National Broadband.
