Prosecutors league.
Atty. Medina informed the body that LENTE had already
submitted the draft MOA with Atty. De los Reyes for comment of Gen.
Verzoza. Atty. Suguitan presented a power point on the different
posters for LENTE.
Atty. Libarios said that three days before the election, for
purposes of the deployment of the machine, LENTE should have a
deployment plan. Atty. Medina said that LENTE should identify the gaps
so that the roving teams can attend to the deployment.
Atty. Libarios said that as early as May 9, 2010, the provincial
coordinators should report on the status of the deployment of the
machine as to whether any problem is being encountered. The
provincial coordinators should have a check list/situational report.
Atty. Reyes said that the machines should be delivered to the
precincts not later than May 7, 2010. Atty. Libarios added that LENTE
should monitor the deployment of the PCOS machines. Atty. Medina
said that once LENTE identified the volunteers, they should schedule a
meeting with the member organizations within their area. Atty. Reyes
pressed on linking up with other member organizations, because you
cannot do it on your own.
Atty. Caritos said that the checking of the PCOS is PPCRVs work,
what is important is to know who are the lawyers in-charge in the
province, cities and municipalities. Atty. Reyes said that let the lawyers
decide what to do. She also said that the possible cheating would occur
between May 7, and May 10, 2010, so LENTE volunteers should be
vigilant and careful.
Atty. Libarios said that all data should be gathered like how many
PCOS machines are distributed or tested so that as of May 09, 2010,
LENTE already know how many percent of the PCOS machines had
malfunctioned.
Atty. Reyes said that it is important to know the immediate
objective of LENTE. To her, the immediate objective of LENTE is to
ensure that the result of this May 10, 2010 election is credible and
accurate. Atty. Libarios added that it has a deterrent effect if lawyers
made known their presence to the COMELEC within their area. Atty.
Medina reiterated that if LENTE volunteers are identified, they should
link up at ground level for them to organize and talk to themselves how
