Robredo clarifies 'vote buying' comment amid Comelec caution

VICE President Maria Leonor 'Leni' Robredo's advice to voters to accept the money which political candidates will give on election day but vote according to their conscience did not sit well with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) even as the presidential candidate said her words were 'reposted with no context'.
