With less than two weeks before election day, unscrupulous individuals are going all out to buy votes.
The Commission on Elections urged the public to report groups or individuals posing as employees of the poll body who are trying people to sign a "voters' list."
"Isumbong sa Comelec ang anumang "voters list" na pinapipirma sa inyo…Wala kaming hina- house to house na ganun," Comelec Commissioner Grace Padaca said in her Twitter account.
"Huwag kayong basta pipirma sa kung ano-anong listahan o pekeng voters list ng mga tauhan ng kandidato. Gagamitin yang ebidensiya laban sa inyo," she added.
She also advised the public to be vigilant by taking photos of the documents and the individuals who approached them and report them to the poll body.
"Please help us fight vote-buying. Ibisto ang mga taga-staple ng pera sa flyers at taga- lagay ng pera sa mga sobre," she said. (PNA)
