Accept the money but vote according to your conscience? That should not be suggested to the electorate, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez says. Halalan2022 READ:

MANILA - The spokesman of the Commission on Elections on Tuesday publicly disagreed with Vice President Leni Robredo for saying that voters who are offered money by politicians should accept the money but still vote according to their conscience.

I disagree with the notion of taking the money and voting according to your conscience. Vote buying is an election offense regardless of financial situation or noble intentions. Di dapat ginagawa, at di dapat sina-suggest yan sa mga botante."Vote buying is an election offense regardless of financial situation or noble intentions. Di dapat ginagawa, at di dapat sina-suggest yan sa mga botante," he said.

"Mali iyong pagbili boto, pero iyong sinasabi ko sa tao, tanggapin n’yo. Parati kong sinasabi tanggapin n’yo kasi galing ‘yan sa atin. Iyong pinangbibili ng boto, pera rin ‘yan ng taongbayan," she said in an online forum organized by Kasambahay For Leni.

First of all, she wasn't the first and only one to make a statement to that effect. So why are you reacting only now? Second, eversince I was old enough to vote, I've been aware that this is a common practice. And so is COMELEC, but it seems your office is not taking any action.

and what will the comelec do about it? it has been going on for so long, comelec has done nothing.

Yan ang Comelec, alam na alam na offense ang vote buying pero walang ginagawa para matigil itong bumibili ng boto. Meron na ba kayong nahuli at naparusahan? Kayo sa Comelec, di ba kayo nabibili dyan? Just wondering. 🤔

Correct Mr jimenez, evil is an evil whatever you call it!

Same with corruption, di dapat ginagawa

The VP is giving her advise base on reality, since the COMELEC consistently failed since time immorial the problem on vote buying. I believe, nobody has convicted of vote buying

C'mon spokes james. COMELEC has not stopped vote buying ever since. By publicly advising to accept money from vote buying candidates and to vote wisely according to conscience, VP Leni discourages vote buying by unfit candidates who use 'gold' and not win. Thanks to VP Leni.

Owww cmon wag tyong mgttagatgahan kda botohon nmn my gnyn vote buying or giving some cash donations kuno, sinong d nglbas na politiko ng pera pra sa election Pinapganda lng tawag ng iba but still vote buying din un , mga ipokrito

Pero yung sako sakong pera never ko na rinig o nabasa sa news kong ano response..

Tagal mo na sa Comelec jabjimenez pero wala kayong ginagawa to stop the vote buying dito sa bansa. Tapos ngayon sasabihin niyong you disagree! Sabihin natin meron, but it is not enough! Weak na initiative yan kasi hanggang ngayon vote buying is a must para sa mga kandidato.

Hay naku comelec, ano ba nagawa nyo to stop vote buying? FACT: Umaapaw ang pera tuwing eleksyon , alam nyo yan, nating lahat to.

May ginawa ba ang Comelec to stop this? Ang tagal na ng issue ng vote buying pero wala kayong ginagawa jabjimenez! Puro mga salita sarap niyong paglalagyan ng muriatic sa mga bibig niyo.

Khit hindi nmn isuggest na kunin yung pera..tpos kung sino yun gusto yun ang iboto..gnun nmn na tlaga ginawa ng mga tao..

Sabaw nga diba! Sabi nga ni Acosta isipin mo muna bago buka bibig mo VP

Comelec probably gets their payments through wire and not cash. This is a reflection of your grip over the longstanding, widespread practice in the Philippines. So tell us, what are your practical, tangible and concrete steps? Will you kickoff the hunting season?

gawin ninyo ng maayos at buong husay ang trabaho ninyo kaya lang palpak at inutil ang COMELEC!!!

It has been happening for the longest time yet, COMELEC has done nothing about it. It is real and what VP Leni is a reminder that if you accept the money, it doesn't mean you owe that candidate anything. Sino makakatanggi sa 1k kung walang wala ka na?

COMELEC bago nyo pansinin yung mga tumatanggap ng bayad, ASIKASUHIN nyo sana yung mga hanggang ngayon e pumipila ng matagal at yung iba e di pa rin umaabot sa quota para lang makapagparehistro.

But it's always happening every election and the COMELEC has not done anything about it. In fact, it will be more technological this election due to online payments.

Mali yung sinabi ni iyong iyong huwag niyo ng ipagtanggol.

Dear COMELEC please provide concrete steps (step-by-step) on what an ordinary Filipino should do when encountering people who are giving money for vote-buying. What can they do kung sa sitwasyon ng iba ay tinatakot pa?

Napakaipokrito ko naman if hindi ko tatanggapin yun. Pera na yun ehh HAHA. Pero syempre kailangan maging matalino pa rin sa pagpili. Di yun tumanggap ka ng pera eh siya na iboboto mo. Matalino na mga botante ngayon. Kahit di pa sinabi ni vp ehh ganun nman talga ang gnagawa

parang namang may nagagawa sila…. 😂

Out of touch. Out of reach. Pakulong nyo vote buyers, sige pati na rin tumatanggap. Care to share conviction rate data?

ipagtanggol niyo pa nanay niyo. HAHA. Ok sana kung hindi siya VP or Abogado. Kaso, nakalimot ata. hays.

Sos comelec ..tagal na nangyayari yan ngayun niyo pa sabihin ..play safe ..

Be real Comelec! You have boots on the ground, but it seems that you have a selective amnesia!

ilegal talaga gawain na yan. An tanong: me ginagawa ba kayo para masolusyunan yung problema na yan?! Tsk tsk. Kung di pa nagsalita si vp.. Maryosep.

Robredo: Take politicians' money, vote by conscienceVice President Leni Robredo said the public can take money from unscrupulous politicians, but vote according to their conscience in the 2022 elections. Tama naman siya. Kunin yung pera, aarte pa ba? Pero iboto yung kandidatong gusto nya. Can a person not take the money out of conscience too, Madame VP? Nung 2019 kinuha namin pera nila, pero binoto namin yung nasa kunsensya namin, kaya ayun derecho sa inidoro..
