Meanwhile, the PPCRV disclosed a “bottleneck” in the transparency servers.
In a press briefing on Monday, PPCRV Chairwoman Myla Villanueva said the poll watchdog focused on the file transfer manager, “an application that takes data from the transparency server and send it to the media and to the PPCRV.”
She said the file transfer manager was not completing its job of transferring data to the PPCRV.
“When we looked at it, we saw that there was a job that needed to get done to transfer the data to us [PPCRV], and that file transfer manager was not completing the job, so it started but it did not complete,” she said. “And that obviously is a cause of a bottleneck.”
Villanueva said, however, that the PPCRV was not in a position to make any conclusions on how the “bottleneck”, or what they described as nabulunan (choking), happened and would, instead, ask the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to explain the glitch.
“The PPCRV is not in a position to declare or to conclude about why the bottleneck happened,” she said. “And I think we have to ask the Comelec to continue to explain to our public why it happened because they own the server, they own the environment, and they are in the best position to open up all the details at that given time.”
