Loyzaga also encouraged the public to actively participate in the collection of campaign materials, ensuring that these items are sent to recyclers.

EMB director Jacqueline Caancan instructed all EMB regional offices to organize post-election cleanup activities and collection of tarpaulins until May 17.

Caancan added that the regional offices must also report the quantity of recovered campaign materials and where these were sent for repurposing or recycling.
