Comelec Commissioner George Garcia: The Comelec can only implement the laws by the legislative department.... Yung punishment ay manggagaling lang from the legislature. Hindi magpa-punish ang Comelec kung walang batas. #PiliPinasDebates2022 #PHVote
Garcia says this issue will be discussed more during the next en banc session of the Comelec. #PiliPinasDebates2022 #PHVote
Pangarungan says one sanction by the Comelec to absent candidates without justifiable reason is to deprive them of e-rally slots.

He adds that the biggest "sanction" is the deprivation of opportunity to present their platforms to the people.
Can Comelec require via reso? Maybe, says Chair Pangarungan, or maybe not if there's no law says Commissioner George Garcia. | via @lianbuan
