An official of the Commission on Elections sees no criminal liability with Vice President Leni Robredo’s comment on vote-buying.“I think it is not something that should have been said, but in terms of criminal liability, I don’t really see it,” Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez said in a television interview Thursday, Oct. 28.
Jimenez stressed that vote buying is an election offense regardless of financial situation or noble intentions. Meanwhile, Jimenez said the cash distribution activities being done by presidential aspirant and Senator Manny Pacquiao cannot be considered as “vote-buying” yet.
