LAGUNA Gov. Ramil Hernandez and his wife, 2nd district Rep. Ruth Hernandez, are facing disqualification complaints before the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
The disqualification cases were filed on Thursday by private citizen Celito Baron against the Hernandez couple for alleged vote-buying and misuse of government resources.
Governor Hernandez is running for congressman of Laguna’s second district, while his wife, Rep. Hernandez, is running for governor.
Baron alleged that the couple, who are switching positions in the upcoming election, engaged in vote-buying by handing out t-shirts with their images, food, bottled water, and envelopes containing P2,000 during a recent poll watchers’ orientation and training session.
The complainant also accused the couple of using government-issued health cards known as “blue cards,” to secure voter support.
The Hernandez couple has not yet issued any statement regarding the disqualification petition.
