PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, April 25 (PNA) -– The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in partnership with the local police on Monday removed all the campaign materials posted on unauthorized areas in this city.

The campaign, dubbed as Oplan Baklas, was focused along the north diversion road that connects Barangay Tiguma to Barangay Buenavista in this city.

Anacleta Balinton, acting city election officer, told the Philippines News Agency all of the campaign materials that were removed belong to candidates seeking national elective posts.

Balinton said the campaign materials were placed on electric posts and trees, which are prohibited base on Comelec regulations.

She said all of the campaign materials will be properly inventoried and will be reported to the Comelec central office for proper disposition.

She warned candidates to refrain from posting campaign materials in unauthorized areas as they will face sanctions.

Last week, the Comelec in partnership with the police and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) conducted Oplan Baklas along the national highway in this province. (PNA)
