MANILA, Philippines — Candidates for local positions in the May polls should take down their illegal posters ahead of the campaign period, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said yesterday. “We are reminding local candidates to start taking down their campaign posters and streamers... these will be violating campaign rules,” Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said. The campaign period for local candidates, including those seeking seats at the House of Representatives, is from March 29 to April 11. Candidates should remove illegal campaign materials within three days after they received a notice from the poll body. He said the poll body deployed Oplan Baklas teams to remove illegal posters.
