The QC govt. has expressed its gratitude to the SC after it affirmed Comelec's decision to dismiss the vote-buying complaint against Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, Vice Mayor Gian Sotto and two others following the May 2019 elections . ManilaBulletin
“We thank the Supreme Court for finally putting an end to this issue. At the onset, the allegations hurled against Mayor Joy Belmonte were fabricated, politically motivated, and merely a last-ditch effort to taint her landslide victory way back in 2019,” Quezon City Legal head lawyer Nino Casimiro said.
The complaint stemmed from an alleged vote-buying incident during a campaign rally of Belmonte’s party on Roosevelt Avenue in the city on May 11, 2019, where Revillame was allegedly seen giving out cash to the audience to allegedly induce them to vote the mayor and two other city officials. The Comelec said “the petitioners failed establish, by allegations or evidence, that vote-buying took place and that the respondents are guilty thereof.”
It added that Revillame gave out cash and jackets for the attendees of his variety show during the said day but denied that its purpose is for inducing his fans to vote for the city officials, who were candidates during the May 2019 local elections.
