MANILA, Philippines — Presidential candidate and labor leader Leody de Guzman is looking into filing a case against individuals behind a scheme of alleged internet domain grabbing.
De Guzman learned that “kaleody.com” redirects to “bongbongmarcos.com,” the website of election frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
“Pinag-aaralan na natin ang paghahain ng kaso laban sa mga may pakana ng domain grabbing. May ebidensya na tayo ng pag-redirect mula sa kaleody.com tungo sa bongbongmarcos.com,” the labor leader said in a statement Thursday.
(We are studying filing cases against perpetrators of domain grabbing. We have evidence of redirecting kaleody.com to bongbongmarcos.com.)
He noted that his campaign website is “kaleody.org.”
De Guzman said that the move aims to confuse voters and sabotage his campaign.
“Malinaw na ang intensyon ng ganitong ‘dirty tricks’ ay lumikha ng kalituhan sa mga botante at manabotahe ng kampanya ng iba,” he said.
(It is clear that these “dirty tricks” intend to create confusion among voters and sabotage others’ campaigns.)
“Inaasahan nating marumi ang eleksyon ng mga elitista’t tradisyunal na partido, ngunit hindi ko inakalang pati pangalan ko pala ay magagawa nilang nakawin. Wala silang patawad, lahat na lang ay kanilang inaangkin,” continued de Guzman.
(We expect that elections of elitists and traditional parties will be dirty, but I did not expect that my name would be stolen. They have no mercy, they claim everything.)
The hopeful further appealed to authorities to investigate the incident.
“Nanawagan ako sa awtoridad na imbestigahan ang pangyayari. Humanda sila’t hindi natin tatantanan sa ganitong kawalang-hiyaan!” he urged.
(I appeal to authorities to investigate this incident. They should be ready because we will not give up on this shamelessness!)
