Guanzon flaunts Coke addiction – not cocaine – but Coca-Cola

.

Retired Commission on Elections (COMELEC) commissioner Rowena Guanzon  jokingly drank a can of Coca-Cola with two parishioners who did the same – a reference to President Rodrigo Duterte’s claim that a leading presidential candidate was addicted to cocaine.

Guanzon reportedly did in her visit to Colegio de San Juan de Letran, where there was a campaign event in support of P3PWD party-list.

“Coke zero addict ako, hindi sa cocaine,” she said in a tweet on February 26.

After drinking from her can of Coke Zero began circulating online, she then invited people to do the #NgiwiChallenge (#WinceChallenge), where a person would voluntarily misalign their teeth to imitate a “cocaine jaw.”

However, she eventually asked others to stop doing the challenge to avoid offending people with Tourette’s and cerebral palsy.

Presidential candidate and dictator’s namesake Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. did a drug test last November to prove that he was negative for cocaine use, after Duterte’s implications.

Prior to her retirement from the COMELEC, Guanzon claims that she was being threatened by Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) – Marcos Jr.’s political party.
