BY MARICAR ARANAS AND RENE GENOVE

The Diocesan Electoral Board will formally file charges against a political group in Tanjay City, Oriental Negros, for allegedly using the name of the National Movement for Free Elections or NAMFREL as its volunteers' identity in the May 14 polls.

Tanjay City Parish coordinator Dondee Ceñeres reported the anomaly to DEB convenor Rev. Fr. Julius Perpetuo Heruela in Dumaguete City, who will, in turn, refer the problem to the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting main office in Manila .

Ceñeres said they were surprised to see a group of young people wearing T-shirts bearing the letters N.A.M.F.R.E.L. which supposed to be the acronym of an independent poll counting body.
