Hindi kaiba sa mga nakalipas na eleksyon, inaasahan na rin daw ng COMELEC ang mga insidente ng vote buying sa 2025 at imbes sa mga payment platform, mas personal ang posibleng magiging abutan ng pera.

00:00Unlike the past elections,

00:03Comelec is already anticipating the incidents of vote buying in 2025.

00:09And instead of payment platforms,

00:11it is more personal that it will be possible to get money.

00:15Maki Polido was right.

00:19The purchase of votes is like the age of election in the country

00:23and it will not be different from the upcoming 2025 elections.

00:27What we expect from the upcoming elections

00:29is that the purchasing of votes will increase.

00:31Payment platforms are now used to purchase votes.

00:34But Garcia thinks that in the 2025 elections,

00:37it will be more personal to get money.

00:39Vote buyers already know that they are being monitored by the payment platform

00:44that will immediately report to Comelec.

00:46If you send more than 20 people in one day,

00:50in one transaction,

00:51we will pressure you to engage in vote buying.

00:54According to OCTA Research,

00:56most Filipinos do not sell votes.

00:59But only the poor voters are monitored by politicians.

01:04There are many types of vote buying,

01:05it can be in cash or in-kind.

01:07And it is limited to the last days before the elections,

01:10according to political analyst Ranjit Rai.

01:13Instead of thinking long term,

01:15and thinking of big things like democracy,

01:18citizenship and leadership,

01:20they look at the short term.

01:22It's a chance for us to eat.

01:24More often than not, the whole family buys votes.

01:27It's limited to the local level,

01:29or for the positions of the councilor, mayor, governor or congressman.

01:34There's a package given to the family to vote or not to vote.

01:37Certain communities and barangays that are not favorable,

01:41local politicians will try to either prevent them from voting,

01:44or encourage them to vote.

01:46Comelec said that vote buying weakens the integrity of the election.

01:50That's why the Memorandum of Agreement was passed between Comelec and NBI

01:54to ensure that vote buying is not the only thing that violates the election rules.

01:59I will not tell you what action we will take

02:03because they will know.

02:05But we already have a plan.
