Bets warned: Don't use INC rally to campaign

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) urged politicians running in the midterm polls to avoid being "epal" (attention seeker) and to refrain from using the Iglesia ni Cristo's (INC) "National Rally for Peace" on Monday as a platform for premature campaigning.

The article from MSN discusses a warning issued by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in the Philippines to candidates participating in the "Bagong Pilipinas" rally at the Quirino Grandstand. Comelec has advised candidates not to use the event, which is organized by the government, for campaign purposes. This rally, set to be attended by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte, is intended to promote the government's "Bagong Pilipinas" initiative. Comelec Chairman George Garcia emphasized that any form of campaigning at the event would be considered an election offense, as the rally is not an official campaign event. Candidates are allowed to attend but must refrain from soliciting votes or engaging in any campaign-related activities. The warning comes as part of Comelec's efforts to ensure that government resources are not used for partisan political activities.
