PPCRV Addresses Vote Count Discrepancy in Philippine Elections
The Philippine elections are underway, and the transparency of the process is crucial. Recently, a discrepancy in the vote count was observed during the Bilang Pilipino 2025 count. The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) stepped in to clarify the situation. According to PPCRV spokesperson Anna Singson, "There was duplication in the transmitted votes received from the Comelec." This resulted in a significant data mismatch that was promptly addressed by Comelec. By early morning, the discrepancy was resolved, with the final count reaching almost 98% completion. The PPCRV also emphasized their random manual audit process, ensuring accuracy and transparency. This event highlights the importance of transparency and the role of organizations like the PPCRV in ensuring fair elections.
