Commission on Elections (COMELEC) commissioner Rowena Guanzon sees no need to extort money from wannabe congressman Ronald Cardema.
Guanzon, in her latest tweet, said she is richer than Cardema, whose nomination as Duterte Youth party-list representative was rejected by the poll body for being too old.
“Why will I extort money from him or anyone? I don’t need it. I am richer than Cardema for sure,” she said.
“Before it was death threats, now extortion. Ano sunod, impeachment? All intimidation tactics to coerce me to reverse my vote. Again, friendly advise, study your case and get a good lawyer. But u can’t change your date of birth,” she said.
Cardema has alleged that Guanzon tried to extort money and favors in exchange for the accreditation of the Duterte Youth party list group. The poll official has strongly denied Cardema’s allegation.

cardema and their numbers 2 , 3, 4 are overaged, not youth. their 5th is 29 but not member of Party list at least 90 days so DQ also.

Note his allegation that the incident occurred early 2019 when he was still NYC Chair. Is he saying he was engaging in partisan political activities while he was NYC Chair? @COMELEC

A friendly advise to @RonaldCardema he should study his case and get good lawyer. Imagine a former @COMELEC Chairman is opposing him.
