The Comelec will conduct a nationwide simultaneous removal of unlawful campaign materials.
MANILA — The Commission on Elections will conduct Operation Baklas, a nationwide simultaneous removal of illegal campaign materials, on Oct. 20 and 27.
Campaigning on television or cable television, radio, newspaper, the internet, or any other medium such as in social media and internet is allowed for all bona fide candidates seeking Barangay and SK elective positions, “subject to the limitation on authorized expenses of candidates, observation of truth in advertising, and to the supervision and regulation by the Comelec.”
Unlawful campaign materials in private places will not be removed under Operation Baklas due to a 2022 temporary restraining order issued by the Supreme Court. But an election officer can still send a Notice to Remove and Show Cause Order addressed to candidates in case there are unlawful campaign materials posted on public and private properties.
The poll body also reminded candidates that engaging in an election campaign or partisan political activity outside the campaign period is considered premature campaigning.
