ILOILO CITY -— Party list groups have asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to investigate the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) for alleged violation of election laws after it posted on its official Facebook page a fake report that the party list groups were disqualified in the May 13 elections. ADVERTISEMENTMakabayan is a coalition of 12 militant party list groups, including Bayan Muna, Gabriela, ACT-Teachers, and Kabataan. It also erroneously included the youth group Anakbayan which is not a party list group. “The (Facebook) page is for information dissemination and to improve our image.
