Bent on pursuing a CLEAN and PEACEFUL MIDTERM ELECTION this May 2025, the Commission on Election has been issuing left and right show cause orders against local and national candidates liable on possible election offense.
The recent issue is now pointed to administration senatorial aspirant Camille Villar after an anonymous complaint was allegedly filed against the congresswoman as her presence was seen in a cash raffle event on February 16 in Imus, Cavite.
Comelec Executive Dir. Teopisto Elnas Jr. of the Committee on Kontra Bigay said they are now investigating the video submitted to them that purportedly documented the supposed irregularity committed by Villar.
Among those who were previously ordered to respond to Comelec show cause orders include Pasig City Congressional candidate Atty. Ian Sia, incumbent Misamis Oriental gubernatorial candidate Peter Unabia, incumbent MataasnaKahoy Vice Mayor Jay Ilagan and Davao de Oro gubernatorial bet Ruwel Peter Gonzaga for lewd campaign remarks. The four candidates complained for alleged violations of Comelec Anti-Discrimination and Fair Campaigning Guidelines.
Also, the Comelec likewise made to explain six senatorial candidates and more than 34 part-list groups for alleged illegal campaign materials. While Pasay mayoralty candidate Editha “Wowee” Manguera was also called to explain for her racist remark against an Indian national.
Obviously, these candidates that are made to answer to the Comelec were so confident that they forgot they are candidates wooing the public trusts and opinions.
As for my two-cents, these personalities should never be entrusted with position nor power because THEY WILL ALWAYS FORGET THAT THEY HAVE TO BE FAIR AND JUST AT ALL TIMES TO THEIR OPPONENTS AND MUCH TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS.
