While there is yet to be an indication that the Comelec system has been compromised, Senate President Vicente Sotto III called for another Senate hearing into possible security breaches that may affect the conduct of this year’s polls. VotePH READ:

disclosed some details of the executive session she and other senators, including Sotto, held with Comelec officials.

“In our meeting today, it became clear that there was a breach in the Smartmatic systems. For now, there is no indication that the Comelec system has been compromised. It is unfortunate, though, that the poll body did not immediately ask for an executive session of the JCOC (Joint Congressional Oversight Committee when the breach happened,” Sotto went on.

Sotto, meanwhile, expressed hopes that the new Comelec chairman and commissioners would ensure a “more transparent and proactive” stance in the conduct of this year’s polls. “Too much responsibility has been placed on a single commissioner to basically handle almost all the critical aspects of this election. Perhaps it is time to disperse the responsibility more equitably among the other commissioners in order to have some form of checks and balance,” he added.
