0:09we're we're looking like fools in this
0:11in this in this in this in in this body
0:13we are experts in this field we
0:16represent among ourselves
0:191,500 it Professionals in the country we
0:22know what we know our business and we
0:24know our trade and the rest of the
0:26people here act as if they know what
0:28they're talking about and the problem is
0:31they don't know what they're talking
0:32about they're just being led by this VOR
0:34a foreigner for that matter whose
0:37nationality is
0:45not
0:47performance says the
0:53PO of
1:01if you're voting on an electronic
1:03machine what do you know about that
1:05machine where did it come from who
1:07bought it who wrote the software how was
1:10that software coded right when it was
1:12delivered from the company to a polling
1:15station what happened when it was on the
1:17truck did the truck make a stop did
1:19somebody tried to change the software
1:21then once it got to the polling station
1:24did any of the polling officials
1:26interfere with it right did they try to
1:28apply a magnitude did they try to change
1:30the code did they try to unplug it did
1:32they try to block the transmission of
1:34data any one of these issues along the
1:37way completely could invalidate an
1:39election the sad part about our election
1:42system now is that it is uh very
1:45esoteric discussion meaning if you are
1:48not
1:50conversent in it
1:53terminologies uh terminologies that
1:55pertain to encryption it is very
1:58difficult for the common man to
2:01understand what is going on the election
2:05system now okay is not a secure as one
2:09anticipates that's why we have so many
2:11more protests now can you imagine
2:14there's one from the vice presidency for
2:17the senatorial for Congressional in fact
2:20it was stated that there are more
2:22protests now than ever before they
2:25promised us an automated election system
2:28that we can trust the problem
2:33is we have a very questionable automated
2:38election system we were consulted when
2:40they formulated the Republic act 9369
2:43which is on the automation of the
2:45elections to make sure that the system
2:48is secure we plac in several
2:51safeguards okay which by the way was not
2:55followed by comc and when we asked
2:58smartmatic the answer during the joint
3:00congressional oversight committee is
3:03they allowed

4:27to tell us about the meet me room they
4:30forgot to tell us about AWS going to

5:26vcm security
5:34War all
5:55around so the question is there is such
5:58a q server
6:00here's a server and go Q server is part
6:04of the transmission
6:07services
6:08yes there is a system how come
6:11nobody saw it anticipated it or noticed
6:16it sir uh
6:21the can we just ask the smart pic or to
6:24explain because I really cannot explain
6:27why that happen it's just like a it's
6:29like it's like a sella it's a mororo
6:32it's it's it's a it's a it's a show
6:36that's scripted that even their answers
6:38are way out of line and they wouldn't
6:40given those who are in Authority those
6:42who are more uh seasoned experts to give
6:46light to what they're
6:48explaining is there an nank resolution
6:50of K allowing foreign
6:53access the terms of reference for
6:57the for the AE s your honor includes the
7:01provision of a secure platform and one
7:05of the most secure platform available
7:08would be the Amazon web service which in
7:12fact even the dict and the Bureau of
7:15custom subscribe to them um just to be
7:17clear the dict has very strong rulings
7:20on using Amazon in other words um data
7:24as such as the election data is very
7:28very critical in information and the
7:31dict frowns on any such data going
7:35abroad so I don't know how it happened
7:37that Amazon was permitted to host this
7:40that's why there are servers in the DI
7:42sir we were very firm in stating that
7:47the Philippines
7:48data due to data sovereignty should not
7:53go abroad because you never know what
7:56happens when it goes abroad you are not
7:58in control of

8:24inspectors TS
8:28[Music]
8:51returns there there's a process whether
8:54you like it or not the system
8:55automatically stop marks an audit log
8:58the date the time and the the
9:01identification of the machine now that
9:04thing that would show you the jump would
9:06also raise the red flag it says why is
9:08it not sequential time and again we'll
9:10be saying all of this information all of
9:13this discoveries already subject for
9:15digital for even as way back in 2010 and
9:18it's still happening to this day
9:20decrypted ballot
9:23images Imes
9:26ball faithful reproductions
9:37[Music]
9:53image number two and so on
9:59last file
10:00numbers SD card image number 100 in the
10:05case of precinct number 40 in p
10:09kamarin bot image sequence numbers 1 to
10:1240 if I remember it's 57 to 63 78 to 83
10:18all in
10:19Alla in kamarin would be 155 ballot
10:25images but then we found out that the
10:27ballot image sequence numbers reached
10:30767 then these missing ballot images
10:33were tampered with and they were added
10:35at the bottom that is why the ballot
10:38sequence number did not end at the
10:40maximum ballots that were cast at 612
10:43but
10:44767 from 612 + 150
10:48767 that's why it added 613 614 615 616
10:53617 because it could not go back anymore
10:56to number one number two number three
10:58number four until number 40 because
11:00those numbers were previously assigned
11:02already the square is
11:05a
11:09uh the square is to facilitate the
11:13visual determination of how the
11:17machine uh appreciated the ballot uh the
11:20votes or the shade but you never the
11:23comc never announced to the entire world
11:26that there will be squares in the scan
11:28image yes it it's part of the it was
11:31shown during the source code review we
11:34show that it was available then it was
11:37also reviewed by the SLI we didn't hide
11:40that
11:42functionality was it mentioned that
11:44there will be
11:45POS no we were we were not apprised of
11:48of any information that there will be an
11:52insertion or a delis on the image based
11:55on a review that image should be a
11:57complete faithful
12:00reproduction there should be no
12:02alterations if there's any insertion or
12:05deletion of any image on that on that um
12:08uh image ballot that would render that
12:12image questionable because you have now
12:14the ability to edit and if we had seen
12:18that in the source code we would have
12:19objected it to it immediately please the
12:22the law provides for an optical
12:26scanning of the ballot in inerted
12:30correct so no alteration can be made if
12:33the design of the
12:35BCM to the SD cards allows the com to
12:40insert anything there like a square they
12:43can also insert any kind of
12:56shade frame
13:23if you took a picture and you stored it
13:26and encrypted it if I added one element
13:30like a a square for instance the digital
13:35signature and the file will never match
13:38if you go back to the manual environment
13:40they really attested who is the
13:42signatory of those documents then they
13:44bring them to court in this case it's
13:46all machine
13:48generated and Machine by law is not
13:51recognized by the Constitution they're
13:53just a mere machine a mere robot so
13:56there's
13:57no no way in hell that she would use the
14:01incre decryption of a program to be the
14:03final result it has no value I will also
14:07show proof that the decrypted ballot
14:09images are not faithful reproductions of
14:13the paper ballot the one on the upper
14:15left is a photocopy of the paper ballot
14:19the physical paper ballot your owner I
14:21don't know if you can see it sir but if
14:23you can actually look at the
14:25original
14:26oval up photocopier lowly humble
14:35phop the lower right your owner is the
14:38decrypted printed decrypted ballot image
14:41similarities top is the same ballot
14:43precinct number at the bottom so the
14:47original as photocopied in the SAT again
14:51now look at the
14:57differencein now the other one
15:04is there's an exous Mark the
15:06introduction of the extor mark If I Was
15:08An in my old it job in a bank and I was
15:14to be audited by the central bank for my
15:17data
15:18center if this is what they saw you
15:21would be fired automatically I would
15:23have lost my job if this was the kind of
15:27work that I showed a professional IT
15:31Auditor uh I would have been fired on
15:33the spot the automated system just like
15:36in the e-commerce law digital
15:40signature digital signature this has a
15:43public and a private
15:52keyal signature is password
16:05number that is a public account private
16:27passation mark
16:32machine digital
16:35signature button I button who controls
16:39the the ey buttons smartmatic and Comet
16:44the one that knows the password is
16:46smartmatic the one that knows your
16:48password is also what you call that comc
16:51but more importantly the person is
16:55provided the password that they will use
16:57to use it
17:04so and they will be able to duplicate
17:07the whole system and your Kon signature
17:10he who holds the key he who knows the
17:14passwords can manipulate the system it's
17:17not just because the com should not
17:19comply with the law let let me refer
17:22back
17:23to 881 the the the omnus election code
17:28the ACT of the board of election
17:30inspectors to sign the election returns
17:34is not only a ministerial task it is a
17:37manifest so their act there is a
17:39constitutional act in an automated
17:41environment you have to issue that
17:44digital signature to that board of
17:45election inspector that will that will
17:47testify this is the person it's himself
17:49or herself not just a machine not just
17:52just a program code because they you
17:54define the purpose of suffrage because
17:56remember we are a government of the
17:58people by the people and for the people
18:00so the sovereignty emanates from the
18:03people so in other words if we're going
18:04to run our sovereignty everything has to
18:06be done by the people and and those who
18:09will vote and those who will count must
18:11be the people not a machine the machine
18:14is just a tool now if you're going to
18:16surrender our sovereignty to a machine
18:19then that that increases our
18:23vulnerability EMS or election management
18:26system
18:29automated election system it produces
18:32the SD cards that run the vcm any SD
18:36card it produces even manipulated ones
18:39can run the vcm and produce legitimate
18:44[Music]
18:50results sometime in
18:56De election officer Alex
19:25that is the beauty of an automated
19:28election
19:37[Music]
19:40attorney Glen election lawyer attorney
19:53Glen
19:56yes at the same time
20:05it wasn't enough it wasn't enough to the
20:08point expose he was already telling uh
20:12something now there's something going
20:15on with smartmatic and and all that
20:26right resource person
20:30cheating
20:33election there's a
20:35hand actually independent Med
20:38organization there's a there's a thing
20:40going on like sh okay if you ever write
20:44this write this quietly and play up
20:48something is going like that I know
20:50because I'm in the
20:56media I see no reason as to why uh a
21:00hybrid system would not be more
21:03compatible with our country hybrid
21:06election system to me is a a good system
21:10because it shows
21:12transparency many countries Advanced
21:15countries like Germany Netherlands
21:18they've gone back to manual counting in
21:21Germany sa unconstitutional because the
21:24person does not know how the vote was
21:26counted
21:34and then you automate the transfer to
21:36stop this kind of cheating which is
21:39wholesale automated cheating we have to
21:42make sure that the accounting is public
21:44in smart
21:49[Music]
22:08what do you price
22:17democracy because the money that we give
22:19to our teachers will flow back to the
22:26economy we have to fully understand why
22:30smart Matic has been kicked out of many
22:34countries yet in the Philippines we're
22:36so believed there's new technology out
22:39there and I'm saying why are we
22:42so held up by smart Matic I understand
22:48that there's a lot of uh noise being
22:51made because you don't like the
22:54prospective
22:56beneficiary of the of of this ongoing
23:00protest however I would enjoin people to
23:02take a look at the facts sadly what goes
23:06on is that it becomes a shouting match
23:09between one party and the next and in so
23:13doing both sides are shouting at the top
23:16of their voice and the facts somehow uh
23:19fall into the cracks this is be and bong
23:23bong Marcos and Lenny Robo because uh
23:26there will be more elections to come
23:29it has to stop this is the first time
23:31very first time that we found
23:35out
23:37unfortunately mainstream media this is
23:40really
23:42about
23:46suffrage that's the only thing I have to
23:49hold that can help answer my future the
23:52future of my children it's only during
23:56election time that the poor poor and the
23:59rich have equal inalienable rights to
24:02select their leaders therefore give back
24:05the power to the people
