00:00 The Commission on Elections of the Committee Against Vote Buying for the upcoming Barangay and the upcoming Youth Elections in October.
00:08 The Comelec also found out that not only the candidates are possible to answer to any last part of the premature campaigning.
00:16 Witness, Tina Panganiban Perez.
00:21 The investigation of the murder of a barangay chairwoman and her live-in partner who was shot in their house in Santa Margarita, Samar, continues.
00:30 The authorities will run again in the election of the captain, but there is no definite motive.
00:35 While in the town of Leyte, a barangay chairman, a police officer, ran after the criminal after being shot.
00:42 There is still no definite motive or if it has anything to do with the election.
00:47 The Comelec said that it is possible to get to know the candidates.
00:53 But if the campaign posters are the only thing to talk about, it is not as much as the previous automated elections.
01:00 The Comelec said that the Supreme Court's decision that the candidates who filed for the COC are not yet considered candidates is not applicable to the manual barangay SK elections until the campaign is in session.
01:16 The campaign posters are premature campaigning before the election period.
01:19 Not only the candidates have liabilities, but also the people who are doing it.
01:26 The campaign materials that are allowed in the omnibus election code are leaflets, posters and arpolines, and banners and streamers with appropriate measurements.
01:38 Any other kind of campaign for Fernalia that can include t-shirts, ball caps, baller bands, and others, can be considered as a way to get votes.
01:50 As of now, more than 65 people have filed petitions for the candidates they want in the election.
01:57 In the case of the SK, the political dynasty is prohibited, so you can be disqualified if you have a relative until the second degree by affinity or consanguinity of any elected official even in the barangay.
02:08 Overspending is also prohibited.
02:10 But an ex-Comelec commissioner said that the Comelec might be able to impose some rights.
02:16 What is wrong with that is what we call freedom of expression.
02:21 With the exception of having justification for prohibition. And the justification is right, leveling the playing field.
02:31 It is also possible that there is a commission for the interpretation of the Comelec in the law and the decision of the Supreme Court.
