MANILA, Philippines – Former Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner Rowena Guanzon faces a graft charge for publicizing her vote in the disqualification case of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
In a resolution, the Office of the Ombudsman approved the filing of a graft case against Guanzon for alleged violation of Republic Act No. 3019 – also known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act – that penalizes anomalous transactions, usually involving public money.
Guanzon is indicted under Section 3(k) which prohibits “divulging valuable information of a confidential character…or releasing such information in advance of its authorized release date.”
