Commission on Elections (Comelec) chairman Sixto Brillantes said his dream of conducting a successful midterm-election last May has been fulfilled.
Brillantes said this on the 34th anniversary of shipping company Air21, Comelec’s partner in shipping ballot boxes, CF cards, and Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines since the automated elections in 2010. In the recently concluded national elections, Air 21 has successfully delivered 247,414 totals of paraphernalia.
“It’s just because of this celebration that I have to go back to the country,” Brillantes joked during the celebration on Friday night in Manila Hotel. Brillantes went abroad for a well deserved vacation after holding the successful May election.
“I totally forgot the elections since one month and one week and I set my vacation for the first time in two years. On the last election, everyone was talking about hokus PCOS , or magkagulo, but I was never really worried. The only thing I was worried about was how the election paraphernalia [would be shipped on time]. It was more on the logistics and deployment,” said Brillantes.
Air21 has delivered a total of 60,449 PCOS machines, official ballots, and ballot boxes each were delivered successfully together with 848 generator sets to 1128 municipalities, 64 provinces in Luzon and Mindanao and 16 cities in national capital region.
Air 21 has been providing time-definite and innovative pick-up, delivery, and logistics services since 1979.
