Entry of 5,000 cell phone jammers worries Comelec

---

The Commission on Elections on Monday said it has been taking steps to protect the system of the May automated elections after receiving reports that 5,000 units of cell phone jammers entered the country recently.

Comelec spokesman James Jimenez indicated that the poll body saw the entry of the cell phone jammers as a threat to the orderly, fraud-free conduct of the automated national and local elections, the first ever in the country.

He said the poll body has been on "active form of defense" after verifying the reports of the bulk arrival of the jammers.

"That the units came in a big bulk, although the purpose remains unclear and given the proximity of the election, we cannot help but be suspicious. And it’s only prudent that the Comelec be suspicious," Jimenez said.

The Comelec already had information who imported the jammers but opted not to give details to the public yet.

i think they need more than 5000 to rig an entire election. I would be more worried if PLDT and Globe networks get congested

I think, naay backup network ang COMELEC..
Satellite data transmitter.. which is effective sa mga areas na walay telco network..

I've saw it on the news, kadtong nag ka problema sa Taguig kay walay signal ang tulo ka network didto then gi gamitan ug antenna sa gawas aron ma transmit..
