With the overseas voting officially underway, some overseas Filipino workers (OFW) who are supporting the candidacy of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte are claiming that the votes they casted for Duterte was diverted to Liberal Party’s (LP) standard bearer Mar Roxas.

In a recent Facebook post, Karen Cabase, a junior HR executive officer at Technoserve Trading LLC in Amman, Jordan, complained that during the overseas elections,her voter’s receipt showed that she voted for former DILG secretary Mar Roxas, when she actually voted for Duterte.

Upon seeing this post, many netizens speculated that the government was conspiring against Duterte in order for Roxas to win.

However, in another Facebook post, one netizen proved that Cabase’s accusations were, in fact, false.

In a post today, May 4, Merlie Neluna, a supporter of LP’s RoRo tandem, shared the website page link of the Philippine embassy in Amman, Jordan that contains a PDF file of the certified list of overseas voters for the 2016 national elections.

In her post, Neluna wrote:

“This Duterte fan complained about Mar on her receipt in amman. Problem? She is not a voter.”

And indeed, after skimming through the entire document, there is no OFW voter registered under the name Karen Cabase or Karen Cabase Al-omari in Amman, Jordan.

Because of this proof, many netizens were angered by Cabase’s fabricated story. Most of them suggested that Cabase should be reported to the authorities for her deliberate disinformation and manipulation.

Here are some of their comments:

After spreading lies and receiving negative comments, Cabase quickly changed her Facebook name from Karen Cabase to Karen Cabase Al-omari, adding her husband’s surname and then deleted her fictitious election post.
