READ: Comelec execs face chargesA JOINT venture group of foreign automation companies has asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to stop the award of the contract for vote counting machines (VCMs) and related equipment to be used in the 2022 polls, claiming the bidding for the contract was anomalous. The complaint, dated May 5, was signed by Steven Allen Beyer on behalf of Pivot and Power Serve. Speaking at a media forum on Monday, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the trials will be held in conjunction with similar tests for vaccine mixing. She said they were looking for funding for the trial while other aspects, including the trial size and length, will be announced later. Ahanmisi, younger brother of Alaska Aces guard Maverick, was one of the highly-touted prospects in the recent Rookie Draft.
