Election complaints against Lin, Hernandez for vote-buying

Disqualification complaints have been filed with the Commission on Elections against three candidates in Quezon City and Laguna for alleged vote-buying and misuse of government resources.

In Quezon City, Rose Nono Lin is accused of distributing refreshments and soliciting votes during Maundy Thursday, violating election laws.

Another complaint alleges that Lin's campaign team distributed rice, cash, and materials to influence voters from March 29 to April 21.

In Laguna, private citizen Celito Baron filed petitions against Governor Ramil Hernandez and his wife, Rep. Ruth Hernandez, for handing out t-shirts, food, water, and PHP2,000 during a poll watchers' training session.

The petition also accuses the couple of using government health cards to secure voter support.

Lin is known for her previous association with Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation, which was implicated in alleged corruption during the pandemic.
