Manila, Aug. 5 -- Misinformation and disinformation remain the biggest challenges facing the Commission on Elections (Comelec) ahead of the Sept. 14 Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections (BPE), according to its chairperson George Garcia.

In an interview in Davao City, Garcia said false information, including claims that the BPE will not push through, continues to circulate as the elections draw near.

"The biggest challenge in holding the Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections is misinformation and disinformation," he said during the 2nd Bangsamoro Parliament Speakers Bureau on Tuesday.

Garcia said the Comelec expects more false information to emerge as election day in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) approaches.
