PRESS RELEASE
Bantay Eleksyon 2010
Fourth Progress Report
April 14, 2010
The People’s Coalition to Monitor the Elections or Bantay Eleksyon (BE) is a coalition of electoral stakeholders formed by the Consortium for Electoral Reforms (CER) which is a national coalition of forty seven (47) electoral reform organizations. Bantay Eleksyon 2010 seeks to monitor the entire election process under a domestic observation mission framework, to assess the conduct of the election based on the international criteria of a fair and free election. It works under the principles of transparency and impartiality.
BE 2010’s fourth public report was released through a Press Conference on April 14, 2010 at the Ilustrado Restaurant, Intramuros, Manila. The event was well attended by media and election stakeholders. The Fourth Progress Report focused on the following: Problem Areas in Automated Election System (AES) Implementation, Conduct of National and local Election Campaign, COMELEC and Supreme Court Decisions, Updates on the Party List, Voters’ List, Civil Society Organizations, Election Violence, and Field Reports from the Regions. The report also included Bantay Eleksyon’s recommendations and conclusions with regard the aforementioned areas.
At the Press Conference, the questions raised mostly pertained to two issues: speed vs. credibility of the Automated Elections, and of how effective the COMELEC is in doing its job to ensure the credibility of the elections and gain the public’s trust.
CER and Bantay Eleksyon Chair Ramon Casiple gave the COMELEC a rating of 5 points from a scale of 1 to 10, emphasizing that it is easier for the rating to go down than to rise at the rate COMELEC is managing the whole electoral process.
Andie Lasala, National Coordinator of Bantay Eleksyon 2010 and Becky Malay, Secretary-General of the Consortium for Electoral Reforms joined Casiple as speakers.

Bantay-Eleksyon 2010
PRESS STATEMENT
November 23, 2009
All credible, fair and free elections begin with a good and clean Voters’ List.
