CEBU CITY – Candidates in the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections were reminded of the do’s and don’ts in the 10-day campaign period from October 19 to 28.
Lionel Marco Castillano, Commission on Elections-Central Visayas chief, issued the reminders as the campaign period started on Thursday, October 19.
He said candidates are also allowed to run a campaign ad on radio and television for a maximum of 90 and 60 minutes, respectively.Castillano admitted that a candidate spending for P5 per voter is “very unrealistic.” Castillano explained that in national or local elections, candidates are only allowed to spend P3 per voter because there are political parties involved.
“As much as possible, campaign posters should be posted on private residences or private properties with the consent of the owners,” Castillano said.“If you post or nail your posters on trees, you can be charged for violation of Fair Elections Act and Forestry Rules. Injuring a tree is a violation of forestry rules,” Castillano said.
