MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon has been touting herself as an incoming congresswoman by virtue of the PWD partylist she had been campaigning for.

Guanzon gained notoriety during the recent campaign through her appearances at rallies of the Robredo- Pangilinan presidential and vice-presidential tandem and her TikTokish antics on social media.

Now, Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, is reporting that Guanzon is not among the nominees of the said partylist, noting that when the deadline for nominee substitution happened Guanzon was still a Comelec Commissioner.

Will Vera Files please fact-check either Guanzon or Rappler’s story to settle once and for all whether the former is a fake Congresswoman-to-be or if the latter is fake news?
