Miru Co, Ltd. the Korean-based company that will supply the country’s automated election system (AES) for the 2025 national and local elections vowed to focus on delivering the best possible automated system amid criticisms and allegations of possible vote rigging.
In a statement, the company said it has always acted in good faith and has proven the quality of both the machines themselves and the capacity to deliver all requirements on time through several public Demonstrations.
“We will continue to show transparency as we move forward with our responsibility for the upcoming election,” it added.
“Most recently, we have provided a comprehensive tour of our manufacturing plant to Commission on Elections (Comelec) officials, election watchdogs, IT Stakeholders, and the media. This includes highly-regarded groups such as PPCRV, Lente, NAMFREL, PARTICIPATE, the Philippine Computer Society, and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP),” the statement said.
The firm also said that Comelec Chairman George Garcia himself noted how capable Miru systems have proven to be during the demonstration process of the voting machines.
“We also saw that Miru is very ready to deliver to us the 110,000 machines that we will be needing because their timeline is on-time and is being duly followed. We also saw the expertise of Miru’s technicians and engineers while they were working on the machines,” Garcia said.
