COMELEC SBAC examines eligibility of Smartmatics largest contract

This is the examination by the SBAC, of the largest single contract submitted by Smartmatic International Corporation, in their bid for the Philippines AES contract. You will see that most if the important information has been blacked out with no way to know if the contract was awarded to them or one of their many shell companies, what the contract amount was, or if the contract was successfully completed. The question is: Will the SBAC really pursue this information as they imply, or will they gloss over it?

Not sooo fast! Comelec simply said it would investigate during post-qualification. Even Atty. Rafanan is perplexed-- why hide names and numbers at all? Later, in the technical round, Smartmatic did a switcheroo by presenting a different contract from the one it erased and blackened. This is way too much cloak and dagger for a supposedly legit company.

I saw this whole incident. Why didn't you post the entire video? I recall that in the end Comelec realized that their contract for the 2010 automation also had the same confidentiality provision. If we require confidentiality for their contract, shouldn't we also respect other countries' contracts? After all, its not your usual IT project. It's a country's election process they are talking about!
