PPCRV Command Center at the University of Santo Tomas, Manila (PNA photo by Avito Dalan) MANILA - The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) on Thursday said the fast transmission of the outcome of the partial and unofficial results of the May 9 elections was due to low required data and not to the alleged election irregularities. "Yung data na tina-transmit natin hindi naman yan Netflix video na napakalaki, HD [high-definition] pa. Ano lang yan, text data about tallies and votes, and tatlong beses lang siya sini-send per machine (The data that we transmit is not as huge as a Netflix video that is HD. That is just text data about tallies and votes being sent just three times per machine)," PPCRV Co-IT Director William Yu explained in a radio interview. Yu said during the 2019 midterm elections, it took seven hours to get the results because the data transmitted from the vote-counting machines (VCMs) to the transparency server was stuck to the file transfer mod
An official of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), on Thursday, May 12, reiterated that the church-based poll watchdog’s task is to compare physical election returns to the electronically-transmitted ones and not recount the tally of votes for the May 2022 polls.

It has so far encoded16,820 ERs. PPCRV Lega Affairs Director and spokesperson Vann Dela Cruz said interested parties asking if there are irregularities, can coordinate with the poll watchdog and it is open to share data. "Ang tanong ng mga tao, baka mamaya, pagbato ng mga VCM sa cyberspace, baka may biglang mag-intercept eh. Mag-intercept, baguhin yung numero para pagbagsak sa server (People may think, what if the data transmitted by the VCM was intercepted in the cyberspace and change the numbers before arriving
