00:0045 days before the election of 2025, the campaign for the local opposition is now in full swing.
00:14At the same time, the Comelec and their LGU members have made a lot of campaign material that is not in the right place.
00:21The hot news is brought to you by James Agustin and Joe Marapresto.
00:25The commission on election of the Grand Oplan Baklas for the posters of local candidates that are placed in the prohibited places has started today.
00:36This is followed by the start of the local campaign period.
00:40Together with Comelec Chairman George Garcia, MMDA Chairman Romando Artes, who placed the posters in the Pre-Tail Market in Tondo, Manila.
00:48Comelec said that from tomorrow, they will send a letter or an order to remove for the candidates.
00:55This one corner that we removed here in the Pre-Tail Market, we already removed one truck.
01:01But from tomorrow, we will not go out anymore.
01:03From tomorrow, we will give them an order to remove.
01:08And if they do not remove it in three days, the next one they will receive will be a show-cause order.
01:14Aside from placing the posters in the undesignated places, they will also remove the oversized and non-environment-friendly materials.
01:23According to MMDA, they will distribute 500 posters in different parts of Metro Manila for the illegal posters.
01:31They will also not give permits to the candidates to have a motorcade every Monday to Friday.
01:37Weekdays are prohibited.
01:39Only weekends and holidays can be allowed for the roads under our jurisdiction.
01:45Will they be punished if they do that?
01:48We will catch them because it is an obstruction.
01:52Aside from Oplan Baklas, Comelec also mentioned that they are continuously monitoring the places where there is a possible election-related incident.
01:59For now, there is no place under Comelec's control, but it is possible that there is one under here in the next days or weeks.
02:07Comelec is monitoring and we also deployed additional troops of PNP and AFP in places that we think are critical anytime there could be a chaos.
02:18Again, we are talking to the entire leadership of the Philippine National Police to remove all private armed groups in our country,
02:27all firearms, especially the loose firearms.
02:34Just outside Kalayaan Avenue in Quezon City, Comelec and the people of the Department of Public Order and Safety-O-Depots removed the campaign posters attached to the wall.
02:43There are wrong measurements and there are also none in the common poster area.
02:47A few meters away, there are also many posters attached to the stale fence.
02:51The tarpaulins attached to the walls were also removed one after another.
02:55In Viluna Avenue, Corner Mabilis Street, the campaign posters were added to the vacant lot.
03:01The situation in the cantons of Mapangakit Street and Matatag Street is also the same.
03:05The tarpaulins attached to the candidates' walls were also removed, even in the lowest places.
03:10In E. Rodriguez Avenue, there are also many campaign posters attached to the walls were also removed.
03:16The campaign posters attached to the dump truck were also removed.
03:19Compared to the first Oplan Baklas, most likely now, there are no more streetlights, signposts and traffic lights
03:26because we have a local ordinance that prohibits people from using them.
03:30So now, we noticed that there are no more streetlights, mostly on abandoned walls and abandoned places.
