00:00The Commission on Elections issued a list of candidates for the 2020-25 election.
00:07Paul Boddy will monitor the social media of the candidates during the election.
00:14Luisa Erispe of PTV in Balitang Pambansa. Luisa?
00:20Princess Bukas, one of the public members of the Commission on Elections,
00:24is the list of all the candidates and nominees for the 2020-25 national and local elections.
00:31According to Communist Permanent Member George Erwin Garcia,
00:34the public can see this on their website Bukas,
00:38where the names of each candidate are defected to their political party or organization.
00:44If there are registered voters who are found to be wrong or dissatisfied with the candidates,
00:50they should submit a petition for disqualification or cancellation of their job,
00:56even if it is against the nominees of the party list.
00:59This is what Communist Permanent Member George Erwin Garcia said.
01:03So that we won't blame the Communist Party for being nominated,
01:07for being able to run, I hope we will exercise that power
01:12and we have the right to question anyone.
01:14That's the only way because the Communist Party has no power to have their own vote
01:19or to cancel the nomination of their own party.
01:26According to the Communist Party, there are 279 candidates in the Philippines.
01:3210 of them are for the candidacy and four are for the disqualification.
01:37Princess, for the candidates, I hope they will register their social media accounts
01:45after the election yesterday in Mecca, Google and Vizag.
01:50They should hold social media websites like Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and others.
01:57After the election, the Communist Party will monitor the posts of the candidates on social media.
02:03During the campaign, the social media influencers will be monitored by the Communist Party.
02:13If the candidates have no plans to commit unethical standards or ethical violations or just moral,
02:24I hope they will register their social media accounts.
02:27It's very important for us to monitor their movements and their posts.
02:33We can also track them and coordinate with the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
02:39Did this influencer use it? Did she pay taxes? Did she report income?
02:45It cannot be said that everyone is just donating.
02:49Princess, the Comelec has registered only 62 political aspirants who are participating in the Comelec of their social media accounts.
02:59The commission will bring them on December 1st.
03:03Let's listen to the latest from the CPP.
03:06Louisa Erispe for Balik Tapasak.
03:11Thank you very much, Louisa Erispe.
