Comelec chair warns against ‘disturbing’ campaign jingles during wee hours
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has reminded candidates against playing loud campaign jingles on public roads and streets during early morning and late night hours, as this violates election guidelines.
Comelec chairman George Garcia specifically criticized candidates using vehicles for this purpose during inconvenient hours, such as midnight or as early as 3:00 AM.
Garcia emphasized that playing jingles during these times infringes upon the public's right to rest and sleep.
He urged candidates to show respect for citizens by avoiding disruptive pre-dawn and late-night campaigning.
Garcia also advised candidates to ensure their campaign jingles are free from any vulgarity or hidden inappropriate messages.
