She added that since 2022, even after Martin Romualdez allegedly prevented her from taking a congressional seat, she has continued to help people across the country using her own hard-earned money.
The former commissioner also criticized officials who place their names and faces on relief goods or government aid.
She called them shameless, saying those funds come from taxpayers, not from their personal pockets.
Guanzon mocked them by saying they post their faces as if they were beautiful when, in truth, they are not.
She then stressed the need to pass the late Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago’s Anti-Epal Bill, which aims to stop politicians from claiming credit for government projects.
Guanzon said this kind of behavior is annoying and must end, calling out officials who pretend to hate traditional politics but act like traditional politicians themselves.
Recently, she also mentioned former PNP Chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III as an example of an official who allowed himself to be used by those in power despite his sacrifices and loyalty.

In a previous report by KAMI, former COMELEC Commissioner Rowena Guanzon fired strong remarks against Martin Romualdez. She posted photos and reports related to the former House Speaker’s resignation. Jokingly, she said Romualdez was removed earlier than the person she wanted to be impeached. She also commented on the statement claiming that the former Speaker supposedly made a sacrifice.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
