Isabela 'Oplan Baklas' begins

NAGUILIAN, Isabela: The Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) had spearheaded a day-long 'Oplan Baklas' drive on Tuesday, April 12, tearing down campaign posters and other paraphernalia nailed, tacked and tied on trees along Isabela's main roads.

Regional Executive Director Gwendolyn Bambalan said in a Tuesday briefing prior to the actual operation that the candidates have been warned about the consequences of not following election laws and rules such as posting posters on trees.
