The Comelec has issued a warning to the public about people impersonating as poll commissioners or authorities on social media. James Jimenez, a Comelec spokesperson, also encouraged people to report Facebook friend requests from those posing as Comelec commissioners or employees.
“These blatant attempts to steal the online identity of Comelec officials are potentially part of a broader attempt to undermine the integrity of the elections,” said Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez.

Guanzon revealed in another interview with CNN Philippines on Thursday night that Ferolino-Ampoloquio is the case’s ponente. The person entrusted with writing a case or petitioning a ruling is referred to as a ponente. Guanzon stated that she has voted since January 17th.
