‘No bribes in people’s initiative campaign to amend charter’

A LEADER of the House of Representatives on Saturday agreed with Vice President Sara Duterte that any form of vote buying is abhorrent in a democracy but reiterated that those who were signing in the People’s Initiative campaign to amend the 1987 Constitution were not paid.

In her comments Friday, Duterte said that the signature campaign pushing for charter change is being used to abuse Filipinos living in poverty and has already disrespected their right to decide for themselves without fear or monetary influence.
