I also said I had no intention of making anything big out of it.”
Brillantes confirmed that Lagman returned the funds but made no big deal about it, saying he was not the only commissioner who returned the money. Hindi kasi natin nakikita, nalalaman at kung paano binibilang ng VCM (vote counting machine) ang boto.
The SC ruled in favor of the group’s petition. Among the challenges that the Comelec now faces are the electoral protests currently filed before the commission in connection with the May 2010 automated election; the preparations for the ARMM election scheduled for August 2011, and whether it should be automated or not, using Smartmatic's PCOS machines; the question of whether to use again Smartmatic's machines for the 2013 elections, or replace them with locally sourced technology; and the continuing registration of voters that would involve the use of biometrics.
Being the only non-lawyer in the en banc, Lagman said he would form a legal staff of election law experts to help him in the adjudication of election-related cases.
As head of the Systems Committee, he managed the implementation of NAMFREL’s automated parallel counts (Operation Quick Count) from 1984 to 2007 (ten national elections).
In 1993, Mr. Lagman was part of the team organized by then Comelec Chairman Christian Monsod that studied the various options available in automating elections.
I’m sure there’s going to be a healthy discussion, and as I would listen to them when it comes to questions on law, I hope they would listen to me when it comes to questions on technology,” he said in a media interview..

Hybrid elections sigaw ng ex-Comelec commissioner
IGINIIT ni dating Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner Gus Lagman ang panawagan na gawing hybrid ang gagawing halalan sa darating na Mayo 12, 2025 midterm elections.
“Ibalik natin ang manual counting ng mga balota sa precinct level upang malaman ng mga tao kung ano talaga ang nangyayari bilang bahagi na rin ng transparency,” ang pahayag ni Lagman sa “The Agenda” media forum sa Club Filipino sa San Juan City kahapon, Biyernes.
Ayon pa sa dating opisyal, walang may aangal kapag manual counting kasi pati mga political parties ay magkakaroon ng kopya sa resulta ng eleksyon.
“Sa ngayon, bibigyan lang tayo ng kopya mula sa machine bilang patunay na tama ang ibinoto natin.
Isa pa, puwedeng mag-insert ng program sa makina,” giit ni Rio.

“Dun lang naman kami after, na dapat transparent kung paano binibilang ang boto natin. I just give them their share).”
Lagman said he decided to return the money by writing a check. "He is a known expert in the field of IT and he has been very involved in the automated elections.
That is not true and he does not know what he’s talking about,” he said.
Brillantes, a veteran election lawyer prior to his current post, and Lagman, an IT expert who was once involved with the poll watchdog, NAMFREL, have been at loggerheads over matters involving Comelec.
One of these is the lack of review of the source code for the precinct count optical scan machines used in the recently-concluded elections.
Malinaw na may nangyayaring manipulasyon sa kung magiging ano ang resulta ng halalan,” ayon pa sa dating commissioner.
“Malamang, hindi alam ng marami na ang ngayo’y [Comelec] chairman na si [George Erwin] Garcia ay dating election lawyer ni BBM,” sambit pa ni Lagman.
Samantala, sinabi naman ng retiradong heneral na si Eliseo Rio Jr., at dating opisyal ng Department of Information and Communications Technology ng Duterte administration, na dapat bigyang pansin ito ng Kataas-taasang Hukuman.
In 2006, he was part of the Technical Working Group that helped craft the amendments to R.A. 8436, resulting in the enactment of the current election automation law, R.A. 9369. It contained the used of the intelligence fund).”
