MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice is set to prioritize the vote-buying complaints that would be filed before it as part of “Kontra Bigay,” the government's inter-agency task force against vote buying that launched Tuesday morning.

 

In a text message to reporters, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said he would create a DOJ composite team from the National Prosecution Service, National Bureau of Investigation, Public Attorney's Office, and main and field offices of the Department of Justice Action Center for the Commission on Election's Inter-Agency Task Force Against Vote Buying.

 

"Considering the importance of the forthcoming elections to the survival and recovery of the nation, I will direct the DOJ contingent to give the highest priority to this campaign in the next 40 days," he said.
