I was watching tv earlier, then while channel-hopping (again), I came across ABS-CBN's Bandila giving updates on the planned Election Automation. Well, the report said that the government is open to the possibility that the proposed automation will not happen in the 2010 National Elections, and that they are still preparing if in case the elections will be done manually again.
The reason for this is because all the bidders got disqualified during the pre-bidding. Bandila listed a handful of companies that bid for the automation, and said that this bidders failed to submit all the bidding requirements, hence, they were disqualified. I guess the Government is really double checking everything this time to avoid anomalies in the future, just like what happened in the previous biddings (e.g. ZTE and Agricultural products).
Anyway, what we can do is to be patient for this. Biddings are really a pain in the a**, so we can't do anything about it but to wait and see. These requirements are not easy to get. Tax clearance, annual ITR, and Statement of Accounts, which basically proves the same thing -- you're a taxpayer! Then there's the sworn statement of compliance to Implementing Rules and Regulations, Certificate of Authenticity, and other papers that needs to be notirized. Then copies of your accreditation, business permit, certification from DTI, certification from PhilGEPS, and your outstanding and/or past contracts. If you lack just one of these requirements, then say goodbye to the bidding. Really troublesome! But even so, these requirements are there to ensure the company's credibility. I just hope the right bidder will win. I mean, we're talking about our future leaders here. So goodluck to the people, and goodluck to Philippines' IT Industry.. =p
