Commission on Elections (Comelec) Spokesperson James B. Jimenez has recommended to critics of the poll body’s “Oplan Baklas” to file a complaint if they have a problem with it.
Recently, the Comelec has launched “Oplan Baklas” wherein the poll body takes down campaign posters that are either oversized or posted in restricted areas.
“I would recommend to anyone who has a problem with what we are doing to file a complaint about what we are doing,” said Jimenez.
“In the meantime, we are taking steps to make sure that our laws are being complied with,” he added.
Jimenez said Comelec will continue the conduct of the “Oplan Baklas” despite criticisms from various groups.
“We are gonna continue doing that. Again, if anyone feels that they have an action against the Comelec, they should pursue that action.”
Some groups have called out Comelec for the “unlawful” removal of campaign posters placed at private properties.
In a Twitter post, Jimenez said they will look into the alleged partisan politics at an event of the Department of Health.
“Will refer to DOH for comment and appropriate action. Partisan politics has no place in official functions,” he said.
A Twitter user has reported to Jimenez the apparent partisan politics at what seems to be a vaccination site.
