MANILA, Philippines – Political advertisements are now allowed on public utility vehicles (PUVs) after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) amended its memorandum circular in light of a Supreme Court order.
In its Memorandum Circular 2015-029, the LTFRB lifted the prohibition of political ads on PUVs such as jeeps, buses, taxis, pedicabs, and tricycles.

The resolution said it was unlawful to post, display, or exhibit any election campaign or propaganda material on PUVs.
The LTFRB said that Memorandum Circular No. 2013-005, which contains the guidelines for the processing, approval and permit of transit advertisement, will apply for operators who want to post political ads. – Rappler.com
