Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV aimed to get verified on YouTube
ANTONIO TRILLANES IV — The former senator was appealing for more subscribers of his YouTube channel as he aimed to get verified on the platform.
At present, the former senator has more than 50,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
Citing COMELEC Resolution No. 10730, Trillanes said that political candidates, including himself, needed to register their verified social media accounts for online promotion and other campaign materials.
Trillanes, who is running for senator in the 2022 elections, also thanked the “kakampinks” or Vice President Leni Robredo’s loyal supporters for boosting his subscriber count on Youtube.
“Maraming salamat po sa inyo, lalung lalo na sa ating mga #KakamPinks na tumutulong sa atin upang dumami ang ating YouTube subscribers para ma-verify ang ating account,” Trillanes said.

Trillanes made the appeal after the COMELEC (Commission on Elections) required political candidates to use only verified social media pages such as YouTube for online promotion and other campaign materials.
Earlier, the poll body had given political aspirants until January 31 to register their verified accounts and websites with the Education and Information Department (EID).
