MANILA, Philippines — The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) on Monday said the Commission on Elections (Comelec) should explain the ‘bottleneck’ that led to the seven-hour delay in updating poll results on election day. PPCRV chairperson Myla Villanueva said the transparency server’s file transfer manager, which was supposed to transmit data from the server to the PPCRV and the media, failed to complete its duty. She explained that the Comelec handles the file transfer manager; hence, the poll body should explain the reason behind the incident. “The PPCRV is not in a position to declare or conclude why the bottleneck happened; we can only say that the bottleneck happened,” Villanueva said. Villanueva said the PPCRV had sent a report to the Comelec regarding their observation on the transparency server’s audit logs.
