Manila, Philippines — The Commission on Elections backtracked on its plan to re-bid the contract for the purchase of indellible ink for the May 10 elections saying that the bidder whom they thought had failed, apparently did not fail after all.
However, the Comelec has confirmed the holding of another bid for the purchase of 80,000 ultraviolet lamps, after the failure to comply of all three bidders of necessary requirements. The controversial OTC Paper Supply was one of those bidders.
