Comelec’s Garcia denies receiving money from Co: All lies

Comelec Chairperson George Erwin Garcia vehemently denied accusations that he received P10 million from individuals claiming to be former bodyguards and bagmen of ex-congressman Zaldy Co. These allegations surfaced during a press conference where former Rep. Mike Defensor, who Comelec recommended for charges of indirect bribery, was also present. Garcia's denial is crucial as it addresses potential corruption concerns within the Commission on Elections, an institution charged with ensuring fair and transparent electoral processes. The situation underscores the importance of maintaining integrity in election oversight bodies to uphold public trust in democratic institutions.
