00:00Social subsidies and financial assistance programs to the indigents and poor can be revoked beyond what they found to be utilized for political purposes to boost someone's candidacy or woo voters to vote one way in the upcoming midterm polls in less than three weeks.
00:18Poll body rules clearly disallow and outlaw candidates running for office to be active or present in any government distribution of aid.
00:27Our Harley Valbuena has more.
00:32The Commission on Elections or Comelec warned that it will revoke the granted exemptions on election spending ban on the distribution of ayudas of local government units that will be proven using such assistance for campaigning and vote buying.
00:48This after the poll body suspended the exemption of aid distribution in the provincial government of Batangas due to the allegation that it will give undue advantage to Batangas Governor Jermilando Mandanas who is now gunning for the vice-governatorial seat of the province.
01:06This is also in line with the numerous show cause orders issued against different candidates.
01:11According to Comelec Chair Attorney George Erwin Garcia, it is stated clearly in the rules on exemption that no candidates should be present in the distribution of aid.
01:22Hindi po mag-a-atubili ang inyong Comelec na ito ay tanggalin sa kanila.
01:28Ganong all exemptions should always be interpreted against the grantee.
01:33Garcia clarified that handing out government assistance during the election period is not prohibited as long as an exemption from the poll body is secured.
01:42Moreover, Comelec said it is already anticipating the explanations from candidates who are accused of vote buying such as Manila Mayoral Candidate Sam Verzosa and Caloacan City re-electionist Mayor Along Malapitan.
01:56Kung sakaling yan talaga ay distribution ng ayuda na binigyan natin na exemption, sinunod ba yung conditions na naandun sa binigyan natin na exemption?
02:07The poll body added that it will continue issuing show cause orders against candidates until next week.
02:14Its task force, Contrabigay, meanwhile, assured that they will act swiftly on the explanations to be submitted by the political aspirants as Election Day, which is on May 12, is fast approaching.
02:27Kapag nilabas ko yung show cause order at sumagot naman sila within the given time frame, I'm sure that the committees and the task forces are up to the task.
02:36In the same way that agaran nilang ipinalabas, agaran din ho nilang didesisyonan yan kung tutuloy sa pagsampan ng motopropio petitions or kung tatanggapin yung paliwanag na katanggap-tanggap.
