00:00The Commission on Elections has a plan for those who are planning campaigns in the middle of the translation.
00:06According to Comelec, this should be used as a base for the celebration.
00:10This is what Floyd Brens wrote.
00:15The Commission on Elections has a plan for those who are planning campaigns in the middle of the translation.
00:22According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia,
00:25those who are planning to run for office should not temporarily postpone the religious occasion for the campaign,
00:31even if the campaign season has not yet officially started.
00:35Comelec Commissioner Ernesto Macedo Jr. mentioned that the aspirants may provide assistance,
00:41but it should not be used to display political materials such as T-shirts with their faces on them.
00:48The translation, he added, is an occasion for religion and not an opportunity for politics.
00:55Meanwhile, Comelec also announced the dismissal of politicians
01:00who started posting advertisements on billboards, TV, and posters before the campaign period began.
01:08According to Garcia, although this is sad,
01:11there is no law that imposes premature campaigning on current election laws.
01:16And the politicians are not yet official candidates
01:19until the campaign period starts on February 12 for the national position
01:25and March 28 for the local position.
01:29Everyone is encouraged to show respect and compassion for this occasion
01:34and if possible, to follow the regulations in the upcoming election.
