Reports of vote buying during the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections on Monday, Oct. 30, 20232, although unverified, only show that the practice is a perennial problem. It does not sit well with our laws. Violators apparently ignore the Commission on Elections’ warning of dire consequences.I was a reporter while I was taking up law studies. Now I am a lawyer and a columnist of SunStar Cebu.

On the other hand, the voters that sold their solemn right to choose the right and fit people to serve the public are not blameless. What is even awful is that for a handful of voters who sold their votes, the entire populace would end up suffering the consequences of bad, if not inefficient public service.
