MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used by students to submit their theses or by fast food chains to take customer orders, why can’t it be used in lieu of voting in the polls?
Well, ask no more.
The Philippines’ Commission on Elections (Comelec) today announced that beginning with the 2025 mid-term elections, AI will replace ballots when voting for national and local candidates.
Comelec told The Adobo Chronicles that it is finalizing plans to use AI to facilitate the election and proclamation of candidates.
Instead of going to the poll booths, Comelec said that voters can just register their social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and AI will determine their choice of candidates based on their social media history.
Comelec said this novel idea will save the government a lot of money normally spent to conduct elections, and will ensure a higher percentage of registered voters actually voting.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Earlier, The Adobo Chronicles reported that President Bongbong Marcos is considering the appointment of former President Rodrigo Duterte and ex-Vice President Leni Robredo to his Cabinet.
Duterte was being groomed to be the head of NTF-ELCAC while Robredo has been asked to join as head of the Presidential Security Group, a new Cabinet position that involves the security and protection of the First Family as well as former Presidents and Vice Presidents and their families.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin tells The Adobo Chronicles that Robredo has immediately accepted the appointment without second thoughts.
Robredo says it is an honor to be part of the Marcos administration under the President’s campaign promise of unity.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the one-year ban on the appointment to government positions of losing candidates in the 2022 Philippine elections is over, expect a flurry of new Cabinet appointments under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos.
But two particular pending appointments are getting much attention.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte and ex-Vice President Leni Robredo are being groomed to Cabinet-level positions.
Reliable sources tell The Adobo Chronicles that Duterte will head the NTF-ELCAC while Robredo will be the new boss of the Presidential Security Group (PSG). Both positions will be elevated to Cabinet status.
The Adobo Chronicles snapped this photo of Duterte and Robredo while waiting to be interviewed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin. First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos reportedly gave her blessings to the new potential appointments.
