00:00Election 2025 is just around the corner.
00:10The problem of vote buying and vote selling is being monitored.
00:13In the election 2022, the value of each vote reached P35,000,
00:19according to an election watchdog.
00:21We have the first news, JP Soriano.
00:25In the movie, Balota, Marian Rivera's character, Teacher Emmy,
00:31showed how she protected the ballot box and the votes inside it
00:36from being stolen.
00:40Even if the movie is made up,
00:42robberies are really happening in the ballot boxes
00:45so that the election won't be counted on the canvas
00:48at the same time.
00:51Now, the number of people who want to buy a vote
00:54has been transmitted.
00:57According to the Legal Network for Truthful Elections or LENTE,
01:01in the last election, for example,
01:04The highest value we heard of a vote is P35,000
01:09for one position.
01:11Mayor.
01:13That's why our countrymen go home
01:15just to vote in the election
01:18because they earn on election day.
01:24It's a problem of governance.
01:26It's a problem of the government
01:28not giving the needed service and program of our people.
01:47They were caught and fined
01:49for denouncing those who bought votes
01:53that were illegal under the law.
01:55According to LENTE,
01:57it's also a problem for those who are in positions
02:00in the government's equipment, facilities, people and fund
02:04to provide benefits and assistance.
02:07This is what we call in LENTE
02:09a massive vote buying.
02:11DSWD has no clue about this yet.
02:13According to DILG,
02:16They can always file a complaint with COMELEC, titignan nila kung may violation.
02:20As the DILG Secretary, ano ho ang guidance ninyo sa mga LGU officials?
02:27Well, we're very strict with the sa pagdating ng election ban.
02:31Election ban na talaga yan, hindi na pwede.
02:34Ito ang unang balita, JP Soriano para sa GMA Integrated News.
