In a recent press briefing, she said the ITFP is now not only lobbying for an automated but technology-neutral election system, but also that the Supreme Court ruling on not using the Automated Counting Machines (ACMs) be respected.

The Comelec had awarded to Mega Pacific a P1.3 billion (US$25.27 million) contract to supply ACMs for use in the May 2004 elections, but the Supreme Court voided Comelec's contract with Mega Pacific after finding that the poll body violated the law and its own bidding rules when it awarded the contract.

In December 2004, the Comelec filed a motion with the Supreme Court requesting to use the ACMs for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections in August 2005. The Supreme Court denied the petition, citing 'utter lack of merit.'
