COMMISSION on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Erwin Garcia has challenged his critics to shed their parliamentary immunity by putting their allegations under oath.

'All of my denials about their allegations that I owned 49 offshore bank accounts and six local bank accounts and my waiver on secrecy of bank deposits, which I submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), are all under oath,' said Garcia. 'I can be charged of perjury for lying under oath.'
