Comelec Allows Media to Access Transparency Servers – Manila Bulletin

Comelec gave legitimate media physical access to transparency servers. This is to assure the public that there will be groups monitoring the election results in real time.

What we will get is raw data and it will depend on each media organization how they process and present the data from the Transparency Servers to the public.

One problem is that it would be too technical for reporters to process the data. The solution is to assign IT staff to obtain and process the data.

Second problem, IT people are not writers, they will have a hard time communicating what the data is about. The solution, associate an IT specialist with a journalist to avoid moments “lost in translation”.

We anticipate minor errors but will clean up and make fixes immediately to show the public what is happening (closed) in real time.

Our team is made up of certified IT professionals Donnie, Noel, Angel, Elil and Jason and we are guided by data scientist Manong Wilson Chua who brought the data to life and amazingly translated the machine-readable data into a language that a human could understand.

You will find below the data of Comelec’s transparency servers.
