Mabilis lang naman \u2018yun eh,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker believed that it is a \u201cwin-win\u201d compromise, which would allow the Comelec to implement its decision against printing of vote receipts and at the same time grant voters the chance to verify their votes.<\/p>\n<p>The poll body has decided not to enable the vote receipts feature of the VCM but activated the onscreen verification system where a voter has 15 seconds to view his vote and verify if it was accurately read by the machine.<\/p>\n<p>Marcos said the law stated that voters should be issued vote receipts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAng batas maliwanag na maliwanag, sinasabi na it is a confirmed printed record; may record ang bawat botante,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cSinasabi ng Comelec na masyadong matrabaho, masyadong matatagalan (\u2018pag nag-print ng receipts). Kaya sinasabi ko, sige kung ganun ang sitwasyon eh \u2018yun na lang ang compromise, makunan (ng literate) ang screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Vice presidential candidate Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. offered a compromise on the issue involving the issuance of voting &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":69594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,1145,16,95,483,9659],"tags":[9640],"class_list":["post-71871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","category-politics","category-voteph2016","tag-pna","mauthors-ferdinand-patinio","mauthors-philippines-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
