00:00The Commission on Elections is warning that those who are buying and selling votes in the start of the campaign for the Hatol ng Bayan 2025 are directly in jail.

00:12Here is the report.

00:13Those who are buying and selling votes are no longer in the Commission on Elections.

00:20Because the campaign for the 2025 midterm elections is about to start, the Commission on Elections will ensure that those who are buying and selling votes are directly in jail.

00:30The warrantless arrest of those caught in the act who are buying and selling votes is very possible now.

00:38It is enough for us to put the same people in jail for several hours.

00:42They will not bail.

00:44It's okay for us.

00:46But the important thing is that if it is a warrantless arrest, there is a procedure.

00:52The system here is that when you see that someone is giving money along with some campaign materials, it can be considered as vote buying.

01:00And in the strongest Committee on Contrabigay of COMELEC, not only are they arrested and jailed, but anyone can face a direct case in court.

01:10COMELEC also has the support of the Department of Justice, Philippine National Police, and other government agencies.

01:17All cases in our law department will be filed or the continuing deputation of the DOJ, we can seek the help of the DOJ so that the prosecutions will be quick.

01:30We are united. If someone is complaining, the chair said time and again, if they cannot do it, we will file a motu propio on our own or we are going to pursue it.

01:39It's not going to stop at just submitting your complaint.

01:43The law enforcement agencies, whether it be the PNP or the NBI, will help with the prosecutors to strengthen our cases.

01:51And because of the agreement of COMELEC and DOJ, we also have a referral pathway where the prosecutors are very open to receive the evidence.

02:05You can see that the PNP is very strict. We will not allow goodbyes.

02:10Aside from the warrantless arrests, the transfer of money to banks and e-wallet applications is also strictly monitored.

02:19COMELEC said that two days before the election, there is a money ban or the transfer of more than Php 500,000 is prohibited.

02:29Two days before the election, the transfer of more than Php 200,000, Php 150,000, or more than Php 20,000 is prohibited.

02:38This is a way to ensure that no one will pay for the vote.

02:41When the money arrives and there is other corroborating evidence, for example, campaign materials, sample ballots or whatever, while it is arriving,

02:53we can assume and presume, including the law enforcement authorities, that that is vote buying.

02:58COMELEC is asking for help from the people of the country.

03:01It also helped with the enforcement of vote buying.

03:04A simple video will provide evidence to file a case in court.
