MAAARING dagsain ng reklamo ang Commission on Elections (Comelec) bunsod ng viral video ni Pasig City congressional candidate Atty. Christian Sia na nag-alok siya na “makasiping ang single mothers na nireregla pa” sa ginanap na barangay caucus sa Brgy. Pinagbuhatan noong Abril 2.

Nakita rin sa video ang pagtawa ng aktres na si Ara Mina, na tumatakbo ring konsehal sa syudad, sa “biro” ni Sia, na ka-tiket niya sa Team Kaya ni Pasig mayoralty bet Sarah Discaya.

“Kaya eto ho ang ambag ko para sa mga solo parent ng Pasig: Minsan sa isang taon, ang mga solo parent na babae na nireregla pa – Nay, malinaw, nireregla pa – at nalulungkot, minsan sa isang taon, puwedeng sumiping ho sa akin,” sabi ni Sia.

“‘Yun hong interesado, magpalista na ho rito sa mesa sa gilid,” dagdag niya.

Maraming netizens, hindi lamang mga taga-Pasig City, ang nag-react at nagpahayag ng kahandaan na magsampa ng reklamo sa Comelec laban kay Sia at kumalat na rin online ang template na puwedeng gamitin.

“I would like to file a complaint against congressional candidate Christian Sia of Pasig for his violation of COMELEC Resolution 11116 which promulgated that acts of bullying women and certain sectors during the campaign period are considered a violation and may constitute an election offense.

Here is the link to his campaign speech which is discriminatory and sexually offensive to women particularly single parents.

I look forward to your prompt action on this.”

Ayon sa Comelec Resolution 11116, “During the election period, any person who, directly or indirectly, committing acts of bullying on the basis of HIV status, coercion, discrimination, against women, discrimination against PWDs (persons with disabilities), on the use of public accommodations, gender-based harassment, labeling public ridicule against PWDs, vilification of PWDs, violation of an anti-discrimination ordinance, and/or violation of rights to religious, cultural sites, and ceremonies as defined under Section 2 of this Resolution shall be liable for an election offense pursuant to Section 13 of RA 9006 and Section 261 (e) of the OEC (Omnibus Election Code) and other pertinent laws, rules, and regulations.” (ROSE NOVENARIO)
