By Gabriela Baron

Retired Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon defended her meeting with Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez, cousin of presumptive president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., and shaking Sandro Marcos’ hand on Saturday, May 14.

Guanzon, who is part of the Pamilya, Pasyente, at Persons with Disabilities (P3PWD) Partylist, said the group needs to work with other lawmakers.

“[Mga] nak, wala tayong mapapasang batas and budget para sa mga PWD kung hindi tayo magtatrabaho with them” Guanzon said, addressing her supporters.

“Hindi pwedeng kontra lang [nang] kontra, suportahan natin ang magagandang programa pero hindi magdadalawang isip na batikusin ang mali. Wala akong utang na loob sa kanila, kayo ang nagluklok sa akin dito,” she added.

In a separate tweet, Guanzon reiterated that she only accepted “their polite gestures.”

Guanzon earlier revealed that she voted to disqualify Marcos Jr. from the 2022 presidential race. – ngs
