CEBU — The Commission on Elections – Central Visayas (Comelec-7) has intensified its crackdown on illegal campaigning, issuing show cause orders to 268 national candidates and partylist groups for placing campaign materials in unauthorized areas.
Comelec-7 Director Francisco Pobe said the commission has already removed 28,000 illegal posters from Feb. 11 to March 15 under "Operation Baklas," a campaign targeting materials displayed in non-designated public spaces.
