Campaign pollution

Hurray for the Quezon City government, for carrying out its "Operation Baklas" to take down materials that are displayed in unauthorized places.

- 

The QC local government is not waiting for the start of the campaign period, during which the Commission on Elections can take down such materials except on private property.

Instead "Operation Baklas" implements a city ordinance, which prohibits at all times the placing of "streamers, stickers, decals, pamphlets, tin plates, cardboards, tarpaulins, printed notices, signboard, billboard, political propaganda" and other types of advertising paraphernalia in unauthorized locations, the QC government announced in a Facebook post.
