TABUK CITY, Kalinga-- The Commission on
Elections in Kalinga had ordered poll candidates in the province to voluntarily
remove all posters outside Comelec-designated areas, including oversized
campaign materials.
Provincial Election
supervisor Dexter BaryCawis said Comelec-Cordillera issued the advisory before
its region-wide simultaneous “Operation Baklas” on April 17.
Cawis said the move
was part of Comelec steps to assure orderly and fair May 13 mid-term elections
in the country.
The Comelec “baklas
team” was composed of the election registrar, chief of police, Army
representative and local government officer.
According to Cawis,
though the Commission means business with its rules, Comelec-Cordillera
prefered to execute a “friendlier order giving chance to candidates and
supporters of Party Lists to comply with the Comelec order.
Cawis reiterated his
appeal to all candidates and their supporters, including Party Lists supporters
to comply with campaign guidelines to maintain the peaceful election situation
in the province.
