A single precinct hosts 2,223 Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated (SBSI) voters, almost 13% of the town's 17,385 registered voters in the May 2022 polls
CEBU, Philippines – The leader of the Surigao del Norte-based Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated forced members to vote for then-candidates Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Sara Duterte, and local allies in the May 2022 election.Lawyer Richard Dano, the legal consultant of the Socorro municipal government’s Task Force Kapihan, confirmed the claim in a message to Rappler on Friday, October 6.
During the 2022 elections, SBSI still counted 5,000 members, although the group’s 2023 “census” shows only 3,560 are left. If voters would receive cash or relief goods in exchange for voting, it would go to the leaders of SBSI, she added.
