MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) clarified that the start of the official campaign period for local candidates remains on March 29, Good Friday.
It was earlier reported that the start of local campaigns was pushed to Saturday, March 30 since candidates are prohibited from campaigning on Good Friday.
But Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez dismissed the news. “Not accurate. Campaign period still starts March 29,” he said.
The law mandates that local candidates are given 45 days before elections to campaign. But Comelec Resolution 9615 prohibits campaigning on Good Friday and on the eve of election day, hence leaving them with only 23 days to campaign. – Rappler.com
