Donya Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan-” Kapag gumamit kayo ng ayuda o namigay ng ayuda na walang exemption sa Comelec either, yan ay vote buying o abuse state of resources. immediately i disqualified natin, walang ng if and but” COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin Garcia told journalist.

This is more or less the scenario at a dental mission allegedly spearheaded by private dental practitioner who are giving way dentures to this towns’ voting constituents.

but the catch is, they have to get listed at the Mayors’ office allegedly not just to be given regular dentures but also some kind of monetary ayuda but the other catch is they have to secure a voter certificate from the local COMELEC for the incumbent Mayor to be sure that indeed they are voting constituents of this town.

This policy was not yet applied because some has gotten their respective dentures which was a part of the incumbent mayor’ health program on dental care with partners from private dental clinics, but the thing is these days are election season and campaign are everywhere so quite recently the Commission on Elections warned candidates and even incumbent running for office to stop health missions either medical or dental so as not to be use for political purposes.

Today, the alleged vote buying is being done at the third floor of the municipal hall and sources says allegedly armed with the same policy allegedly incahoots with the Election officer downstairs, voting constituent has to secure a voter certificate to avail of the more or less 5000 pesos ayuda with dentures which was prohibited by the COMELEC since its obviously being use for campaign purposes.

This was already informed at the DRT Chief of Police since they are the ones being partner of the COMELEC in their HOPE ( Honest Orderly Peaceful Elections) 2025, for the information of the commission, in this town, the commissions’ vehicle has no plate number and the ambulance rang its siren so loud that it is usually the head of funeral procession and the ambulance also has no plate number.

The alleged rampant vote buying doesn’t just happen on the premises of the municipal hall, on the nearest resort also in Barangay Pulong Sampalok ang elsewhere in DRT particularly on the hard to reach barangays in the mountains where the only modes of transportation are the tricycles’ cousin coloquially called karamatsu.

The writer tries to reach both parties involve especially those that are said to be really engaged in the buying of votes and as soon as we reach them or they reach us their side will also be posted on this site for fairness and inclusivity.
