A woman was caught at a Comelec checkpoint in Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija after being found with P1.65 million in cash in her bag. This happened in Barangay Poblacion West on Saturday, a few days before the elections.
The police noticed an eco-bag that was partially open and contained about P1,000 bills. The woman admitted that the bag contained P1.65 million. She also could not show any permission from the Comelec.
According to the police, the woman violated Section 28 of Comelec Resolution No. 11104, which prohibits carrying more than P500,000 two days before and on election day without a permit.
PRO3 Director Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said that their campaign for a clean and safe election this 2025 is serious. Vigilance is being strictly maintained against possible cases of fraud.
According to the Comelec's Kontra Bigay Committee, more than 400 complaints have been received regarding vote-buying, vote-selling, and abuse of government funds for the Midterm Election 2025.
