Comelec’s Jimenez wants social media included in campaign finance

Comelec Spokesman James Jimenez wants social media promotion of candidates included in campaign fi8nance.
At the seminar workshop conducted by the Legal Network for Truthful Elections last month James Jimenez, spokesperson of the Commission on Elections proposed something that makes a lot of sense and like many sensible things, may not sit well with some people who would be directly affected by it.

Jimenez wants expenses by the candidates in promoting their candidacy in social media be included in the Comelec’s regulation of campaign expenses.

Jimenez said all those running for elected positions should be required to submit to Comelec their Facebook, Google and other social media accounts.
