THE Commission on Elections has issued a show cause order against Urdaneta City Mayor Rammy Parayno and Vice Mayor Jimmy Parayno over a controversial 'kissing auction' held during their campaign event. The incident, which was widely condemned, involved an elderly woman being called to the stage where a bidding war for her kiss escalated from P1,000 to P5,000.
The order specifically referenced Section 3, which prohibits gender-based harassment and other discriminatory acts during the election period. In the order signed by Task Force SAFE Director Sonia Bea Wee-Lozada, the Paraynos, both running for re-election, were given three days to submit a written explanation to the Comelec. Failure to comply could result in the filing of an election offense case or a disqualification petition.
