Stand with Guanzon!

Commissioner Rowena Gaunzon was at the Manila Cathedral today, defending her vote to disqualify Bongbong Marcos and calling on the entire en banc to resign. “Sirang sira na kayo dyan. Sabay sabay tayong mag-resign ngayon! My duty is to protect the public from disqualified candidates!”

Commissioner Guanzon is right to disqualify Marcos from the presidential race. She is also right to assert her vote amid the obvious efforts to delay the release of the resolution until she retires and her vote is excluded. We stand with Commissioner Guanzon in her fight to ensure the integrity of the Comelec.

The Comelec has not even investigated allegations that a politician is influencing the Division. Why is there no outrage nor alarm in the Comelec? Why is there no probe up to now? If the Comelec can be influenced this way in favor of Marcos, what does that say of its impartiality in presiding over the elections?

Not since the “Hello Garci” incident has the Comelec faced such a serious crisis, now that one of its own has cried foul over maneuverings that seemingly favor a candidate.

We call on the Comelec First Division to issue the resolution. We call on the Comelec to investigate the politician allegedly trying to influence the Comelec. We call in the public to stand with Commissioner Guanzon.#
