The contract covers the delivery of automated election system-related equipment, vote counting machines (VCMs), ballots and other supplies in the May 2022 national and local elections.

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc has approved the notice of award to F2 Logistics Philippines to transport election materials and warehousing of the May 2022 elections equipment and supplies.

The move comes amid allegations by critics that the firm is owned by Dennis Uy, an associate of President Rodrigo Duterte, raising the risks of compromising the integrity of the 2022 polls.

“The notice of award was approved by the en banc,” Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said in a Viber message to the media Wednesday.

The contract covers the delivery of automated election system-related equipment, vote counting machines (VCMs), ballots and other supplies in the May 2022 national and local elections.

Jimenez said the company submitted the lowest calculated bid for the P1.61-billion contract.

‘No hand’

Meanwhile, Malacañang said on Tuesday (August 25) President Duterte has no hand in the Comelec’s selection of the company that will transport election materials.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the reaction after poll watchdog Kontra Daya questioned the participation of F2 Logistics due to its alleged link to Uy, a Davao-based businessman.

“The Comelec has the sole power to conduct elections, including [power] to award ‘yung mga kontratang gaya nito. Wala pong kinalaman ang Presidente diyan. Comelec po ‘yan,” Roque said.
