Comelec chair George Garcia said Tuesday that the commission was looking into complaints that it might file against poll workers who backed out.
MANILA — The Commission on Elections should look at the reasons that teachers withdrew from poll duty instead of threatening them with cases, the Teachers' Dignity Coalition said Wednesday.
"The Comelec must know, on a case-by-case basis, why some teachers suddenly withdraw. We are talking about the same areas that the Comelec has traditionally placed under its control during elections," TDC said in a statement Wednesday. "Kung wala silang ire-report — hindi nila ibibigay yung totoong reason nila, sasabihin lang personal reason — ay hindi namin sila mapilit," he said on TeleRadyo Serbisyo on Monday, adding incidents of harassment and intimidation should be reported to the police.
"Nakagastos at nakagastos na kami. Handa na, tapos on the day of the election, bigla kang magwi-withdraw? Tapos ang worse, yung ipinalit namin bigla ring magwi-withdraw? Something is wrong with that," he said.
