Daily TribuneJLin is not a Filipino citizen but a Chinese national, Lazaro claimed.
A disqualification complaint was filed against Jeanly Lin, a candidate running for Sangguniang Kabataan chairperson in Barangay San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City.
The complaint, which was lodged with the local Commission on Elections office in Quezon City by Andrea Lazaro, alleged that Lin, also known as "JLin," is not a Filipino citizen but a Chinese national.
In the 11-page complaint, Lazaro claimed that Lin's proficiency in Tagalog is limited, and that she allegedly relied on interpreters, while keeping a group of bodyguards during her campaign in their village.
However, Lin's Certificate of Candidacy indicated that she is a Filipino citizen.
Jeanly is the daughter of Rose Lin, a Pharmally Pharmaceutical executive tagged in the allegedly questionable government supply contract worth billions of pesos during the pandemic.
Rose Lin ran as a representative in Quezon City's 5th District but lost to the brother of outgoing Congressman Alfred Vargas.
