With the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections still six months away, a village chief from Makati City came forward, questioning the registration of 3,700 new voters “who are residents from Manila.
At the Bantay Bayang Mahal media forum in Quezon City, Joselito Salvador of Barangay Carmona, Makati presented the voluminous documents he filed with Comelec to seek the disapproval of the new registrants, “or the so-called flying voters.”
“I fear that this would result in chaos. We know each other here. The barangay election is crucial ,” he said. When asked who fielded the huge volume of new voters in Barangay Carmona, he told the Manila Standard that “he earned the wrath of a big-time contractor when he previously prevented the demolition of properties in the middle of his suspension from office.”ADVERTISEMENT
He claimed he has a complete list of the 4,000 registered voters “who are all legitimate residents of the barangay.”“I am planning to file a motion with the metropolitan trial court,” Salvador said
