Comelec vows to hold liable those behind BBM text sent via emergency alert system Halalan2022
MANILA— The Commission on Elections on Saturday said it was looking for ways to hold accountable those behind the use of the national emergency text alert system for partisan election campaign.
The text alert received by several people earlier this week contains former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos’ initials and ends with the hashtag #BBM2022. The “emergency” message containing his initials was blasted coincidentally when he was at the Comelec tent at the Sofitel Hotel in Pasay City filing his certificate of candidacy.
“Mukhang walang ganyang probisyon sa 10639, 'yung republic act na naggo-govern d'yan. Ang balita ko kung mahuli daw 'yan ang magiging parusa ay fine of P2,000 lamang. Napakaliit kasi napaka outdated ng ating telecommunications laws," Jimenez said.
