Transcript

00:00 Some LGUs have already started to sample the candidates in the barangay and the SK election, who are posting posters in the wrong places.

00:08 Joshua Garcia was surprised.

00:11 Thousands of posters, tarpaulin and other election campaign paraphernalia were removed today by the Commission on Elections,

00:20 led by the local governments nationwide.

00:23 According to the Department of Public Order and Safety Head Elmo Sandiego,

00:27 Operation Baklas was conducted here this morning in the entire Quezon City.

00:31 More than 1,000 campaign posters were confiscated by the DPOS and were posted in the wrong places.

00:37 We have already taken many illegal posters.

00:41 Aside from being illegal, their placement of tarps is also illegal.

00:46 Instead, they were placed in common poster areas, in post offices, in trees, and in wires.

00:51 That's prohibited. We confiscated all of those.

00:54 And here in our area.

00:55 Today, Operation Baklas conducted the government of Tuguegarao, Apalit Pampanga, Mulana Equezon,

01:02 Mangaldan Pangasinan, and other provinces,

01:04 where all campaign posters were removed,

01:07 which do not comply with the correct size and location of the tarpaulin,

01:11 like public places owned by the government,

01:13 and not in designated poster areas of the DPOS.

01:16 In addition, they will recommend the candidates confiscated by the illegal posters

01:22 to explain to the election commission so that it will not be interpreted by other candidates

01:26 and will be repeated in the next days of the campaign.

01:29 Our position here is that we will consolidate the names of the candidates.

01:33 We will recommend to the Comelec to explain them,

01:37 so that it will not be repeated.

01:39 Apparently, what happened in our previous elections, the complaint period,

01:43 if we remove it, the following month, we will be replaced.

01:46 Operation Baklas is one of the steps of the Comelec

01:49 for a better and fair election, where all illegal campaign materials will be removed at the same time,

01:54 today, October 20.

01:56 And on October 27, before the barangay and the next election, 2023 elections.

02:02 Joshua Garcia, for the nation.
