Volunteers at the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) command center were seen singing and dancing during election-related chores.

Clips of these were shared on social media over the weekend and on Monday, as the Church-based poll monitor continues to assist the Commission on Elections in its objective of conducting a free and fair election.

A reporter was able to capture some volunteers singing karaoke on stage.

Some also danced to “I Can’t Stop Me” by K-pop group TWICE, as shown in another reporter’s video.

PPCRV’s Facebook page posted this with the hashtag “#PPCRVHappy.”

“Is it Sina Dahyun or Jihyo?” (Starry-eyed emoji) Once upon a time, naki-sayaw ang Command Center! ” It stated, referring to some of the members of the female group.

Another Twitter user provided a video of the volunteers dancing in the middle as well.

This was not the first time PPCRV volunteers were involved in such situations.

During the 2016 presidential election, several of them were seen dancing “to keep attentive” in their duties.

A reporter already posted a footage of it.

The PPCRV is in charge of voter education programs as well as assuring the accuracy of election results by performing a parallel vote count after partial and unofficial results are received.

“To clarify to the public, what we are doing is answering the ever-present concern and apprehension in their minds, ‘What happens to my ballot when I insert it into the VCM (vote-counting machine)?”

‘Doesn’t anyone notice that?

“PPCRV chair Myla Villanueva previously stated in an interview.

“In order to ease and soothe that fear, this approach at UST (University of Santo Tomas) ensures that no dagdag-bawas occurs.” “There was no hack, and everything is as it should be,” she continued.

The word “Dagdag-bawas” refers to vote padding.

The PPCRV receives the fourth copy of the VCMs’ transmitted election returns. The results are manually decoded to ensure that they correspond with the electronic results from the Comelec transparency server.

Different persons are tasked with manually receiving, sorting, encoding, and reviewing data from election returns. Encoding is also double-checked to verify correctness.

“What we do at PPCRV is check for transmission fraud when ERs (election results) are transmitted into cyberspace.” To guard against a word known as dagdag-Bawas. Pre-transmission ERs are compared to post-transmission ERs. In each election cycle, it is a wholistic examination of the process,” Villanueva added in another interview.
