The Comelec is “following the process” and has decided to go ahead with printing the 67.4 million ballots for the May 9 elections without including the Supreme Court’s three last-minute additions to the final list of candidates. | dpazzibuganINQ /PDI

“I don’t know what to say [to them]. We are following the process that was laid out long before any of this happened,” Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said at a press briefing by video link on Tuesday afternoon.“Ultimately, we have to look at what is necessary for the elections. As for the people who feel aggrieved, there are remedies available and we would encourage them to avail [themselves] of those,” he said.

“We started printing again when the TROs came out; the ballots have been prepared. So there was nothing to do but to just go ahead and print the ballots,” he went on. Close to noon of Jan. 23, the Comelec said it had started printing the automated-election ballots with the preprinted names of candidates beginning with the 2,588,193 ballots to be used in the BARMM.

On Jan. 24, another Comelec-rejected party list group, Juan-Pinagkaisang Ordinaryong Mamamayan Para Yumabong , was issued a TRO by the Supreme Court.
