SEN. Nancy Binay sought accountability from barangay officials who allegedly abuse the issuance of residence certificates as a requirement for voter transfer or registration.
The senator raised the matter on Monday during the deliberations on the proposed 2025 budget of the Commission on Elections . Binay said there has been an 'unusual' increase of 55 percent in the number of new voters in the second district of Makati and 15 percent in the first district, far from the about five percent 'normal rise' in the voting population.
There have been reports that barangay chairmen would issue residence certificates 'without verifying if they are legitimate residents of the said villages,' she said.Binay said criminal cases may be filed against barangay officials found to be involved in the anomalous voter registrations, or those complicit in the violation of election laws.
