MANILA, Philippines — The Integrated Bar of the Philippines will provide free legal aid to Comelec officials and voters in for the elections in all its chapters across the country.

 

The national organization of lawyers, Commission on Elections and Legal Network for Truthful Elections have signed a Memorandum of Agreement on Thursday to collaborate in protecting the sanctity of the ballot and maintaining the rule of law in the elections, the IBP said in a statement.

 

“Under the MOA, IBP, Comelec and Lente will work together to educate the public on the most committed offenses, monitor election irregularities and election offenses, and provide legal assistance to the electoral board members and voters encountering problems of reporting election offenses,” the IBP added.
