The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has debunked a viral social media advisory claiming that "No National ID, No Vote" will be implemented in the upcoming May 2025 elections, clarifying that this information is fake news.
Comelec explicitly stated that the false advisory did not originate from them and was not posted on any of their official social media channels.
