00:00Two local candidates are being explained by Comelec
00:04because of their controversial statements in the campaign.
00:07The DSWD is excited about the use of a woman who was mentally challenged
00:12in a video to reduce the number of candidates in the passing.
00:16Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:18I hope that we will be able to buy rice.
00:24Testimonies against a candidate to get on the other side.
00:28The contents of some videos were uploaded to the social media page The Journal Pasi.
00:34In one video, a 77-year-old woman, according to her relatives,
00:39was mentally challenged and 10 years under medication.
00:44Her niece was angry.
00:46She was dismayed since she was not totally aware of the video.
00:52She was not aware that it would be posted.
00:55I was super disappointed.
00:57Especially because my aunt is a PWD.
01:00She took advantage of her weakness to do bad things and teach bad things.
01:07Together with the National Council on Disability Affairs,
01:11the DSWD conducted a psychosocial assessment on the woman in the video.
01:16The DSWD said that if it can be proven that there was an exploitation or abuse
01:22in a PWD, the DSWD will be the first to file a complaint against the uploader.
01:28The contents of The Journal Pasi are yet to be seen.
01:33The DSWD continued to monitor the candidates.
01:37The commission issued a show-calls order against two candidates.
01:42One of them is the re-electionist Governor Peter Unabia
01:46who said that they have a requirement for nursing scholarships in the Missouri.
01:52According to the re-electionist, they should be beautiful women.
01:57It is not allowed.
01:59If the men are beautiful,
02:03and the nurses are ugly,
02:06where will we go?
02:08We are already sick.
02:10Another statement of Unabia was made by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
02:16My family is Catholic.
02:18Do you want to go there?
02:21The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is a sub-area.
02:32We are sick in Mindanao.
02:34We are already sick.
02:35Last election, there was harassment in your city.
02:38Four captains were harassed in your city.
02:42One of the captains was Maranao.
02:46What do you want to do?
02:48If our four mayors have a problem,
02:56you are not in the BARMM area.
02:58You are not allowed here.
03:00According to the speaker of BARMM,
03:02Unabia's statement is not fair
03:05and shows a lack of deeper understanding and cultural sensitivity dialogue.
03:13Unabia's statement was also questioned against the people of Maranao and Bangsamoro,
03:18especially when they are returning and strengthening their relationship with other beliefs.
03:23We listened to Unabia's statement,
03:26but he said that he will face the media tomorrow.
03:28But in a statement, Unabia said that the video that appears on social media is distorted,
03:34that he still has high respect for the Maranao community.
03:39His statement can be opened in different interpretations
03:43and it can be seen that there is a lack of sensitivity.
03:46But it was used by his opponents in politics to remove it from the context.
03:52He also asked for compensation.
03:54He said that he did not intend to diminish the rich history,
03:58recognition and dignity of the Maranaos.
04:01Unabia was given three days to explain
04:05why he should not file a complaint of election offense or petition for disqualification.
04:12We need to explain this because it may violate our anti-discrimination resolution.
04:22We should remember that our anti-discrimination resolution is not only for women but also for religions.
04:29He also said that labeling or accusing an individual or group as an activist, terrorist or a member of a criminal group is prohibited in the resolution.
04:39There is nothing in our guidelines of apology or I am sorry as a reduction of the case or reduction of the weight of the statement.
04:48Comelec also explained to Batangas gubernatorial candidate J. Manalo Ilagan
04:54because he was his opponent in the election of former Batangas governor Vilma Santos Recto.
05:00My opponent is Vilma Santos.
05:05I am not afraid if it is Kathryn Bernardo and Andrea Brillantes.
05:13I am afraid.
05:14But Vilma Santos, many of his fans are also relieved.
05:21Others are not. Of course, it depends on the age.
05:25Comelec is giving them a chance to answer their questions.
05:31If our task force sees that he should file a complaint of disqualification or election offense,
05:38that will be the next step and there will be a formal answer to him through the issue of summons.
05:46Santos Recto has no direct answer to Ilagan's complaint.
05:50But he issued a statement saying that their campaign in Batangas will continue.
