The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has created a formal committee tasked to coordinate with law enforcement agencies to address vote-buying and vote-selling in the country, Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said Wednesday.
“Dati po nadinig niyo na ‘yung Task force Kontra Bigay. Nasimulan po ‘yan nung 2019, itinuloy nung 2022. Ito po ay isang ad hoc task force. Ngayon po isang formal committee—Committee on Kontra Bigay na po siya,” Laudiangco said during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum.
Citing his experience in the Comelec Law Department, Laudiangco said the poll body is having a hard time in linking the evidence of vote-buying to the candidates. In the 2022 national and local elections, the Comelec launched Task Force Kontra Bigay to prevent vote-buying during the campaign season.
