ADVERTISEMENTA photo of a police officer who appears to be inspecting vote-counting machines and other election paraphernalia at the Comelec warehouse in Baguio City earlier surfaced on social media. “If the police officer went into a Comelec facility without authorization, then that is not allowed. The penalties could come in three to five months, with fines ranging from P50,000 to P50 million, the senator said. In the same hearing, Anne Estorco-Macias, president of the Philippine Independent Power Producers Association, warned that imposing penalties could scare off investors.
