The commissioner, however, cautioned voters in believing unauthorized exit polls, saying the methods used by the pollsters are unknown.
“We have to be very careful in just believing in exit polls. We do not know what are the methods used by these kinds of pollsters,” Garcia pointed out, saying the respondents may not disclose their true votes to the exit polls. The commissioner also said: “So it may not be that accurate, that’s why we should stick to whoever we wanted to vote, we should not believe in bali-balita, mga marites na ganyan, what we should believe is really is what is on our mind, vote based on your conscience in the election day.”
Garcia, meanwhile, said the Comelec’s task force on fake news will likewise investigate the circulating unauthorized exit polls for possible violation. “On our part, that’s why our task force kontra fake news would likewise investigate on these matters because we honestly believe that anything that will destroy the credibility of the entire process or the election results will have to be prevented and we will go after individuals na nagpapakalat ng fake news,” Garcia said.
