Retired judge files complaint on alleged vote-buying in Camarines Sur
Retired RTC judge Soliman M. Santos Jr. and his wife filed a complaint regarding an alleged vote-buying incident in Canaman, Camarines Sur.
The couple received voter education ID cards from a village association officer on May 10, which they believe were part of a vote-buying scheme.
The ID cards, bearing the "Team One Camsur" branding and the names of Lray Villafuerte Jr., Sal Fortuno Jr., and Nonoy Magtuto, contained voter information but no photo.
The village official who delivered the IDs stated he was only instructed to distribute them and was unaware of any voter education seminar.
Santos discovered through neighbors that IDs were surrendered for envelopes containing P1,000 cash.
Lray Villafuerte Jr. and Sal Fortuno Jr. later won their respective elections for governor and vice governor in the May 12 midterm elections.
