The Quezon City Against Corruption (QCAC), led by Janno Orante, filed a vote-buying complaint with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) against three candidates in Quezon City's 4th District.
The respondents are congressional candidate Jesus "Bong" Suntay and councilor bets Miguel "Migs" Suntay and Emmanuel "Kiko" del Mundo.
QCAC alleges that the vote-buying scheme operates through a "networking" system called "Ako@Walo."
A witness, using the alias Angel, testified that the scheme involves an area leader recruiting household leaders and other individuals who are then tasked to recruit more people.
Recruits in this alleged scheme are reportedly promised P1,000 for successfully recruiting additional individuals.
Orante expressed sadness over the "open" and "brazen" nature of the alleged vote-buying scheme, calling it the first of its kind in QC.
