Description

PPCRV volunteer from Tugas, Tanjay reported that during campaign sorties families by the dozen were offered a range of P1,000 to P2,000 depending on which deal they chose: P1,000 is given to voters who choose to give up their right to vote, P1,500 to those who choose to vote but void the ballot, and P2,000 to those who will vote for the candidates. A parishioner from Siquijor said that his family of seven received P5,100 per voter just to block vote a set of candidates for the national and local elections. The parishioner said he accepted the money but will vote according to his conscience.
