00:00Good afternoon, the election period will start tomorrow for the election of 2025.

00:16The police are preparing to place the checkpoints.

00:20The campaign period will start next month, but the Comelec has an explanation

00:24on why they are allowing the posters of the aspirants to be spread.

00:30This is what Jonathan Andal is pointing out.

00:35The police in Manila have already prepared to place the Comelec checkpoints later tonight

00:41as a sign of the official start of the election period in the whole country.

00:46They are already beating up the people who are talking to the motorists

00:50to lower the windows, lower the headlights, turn on the lights inside the vehicle,

00:55and when asked to show the driver's license and vehicle registration.

00:59The same is also the case in Ilocos Norte, where the police were beaten up at the send-off ceremony

01:04even though the vehicles are spread throughout the region.

01:07The Comelec and PNP remind us that only visual inspection is allowed at the checkpoint.

01:13The trunk and glove compartment of the vehicle are not allowed to be opened.

01:17It is also prohibited to lower and cover the vehicles.

01:20The police will not prohibit the motorists from recording at the checkpoint.

01:25They should not react because it will be a protection for each one of us.

01:33We can record using our cellphones.

01:37We will also record if necessary so that we can document what we are doing.

01:42We are limited to the so-called plain view doctrine.

01:45We will not open or lower the windows.

01:47The Supreme Court has already said that if you have information,

01:52intelligence, that indicates that the vehicle needs to be inspected properly,

01:57but you have to justify why.

01:59Checkpoints are prohibited in dark places.

02:02The police should be wearing uniforms and their names should be visible.

02:05The checkpoint should have a sign and the name of the chief of the precinct

02:10and the local Comelec officer should be written on it,

02:11as well as the numbers that can be called if they want to report.

02:14This is a 24-hour checkpoint.

02:16Definitely, around the city, there will be at least 14 checkpoints at any time.

02:22The gun ban will also start later tonight.

02:24This means that guns are not allowed even if you have a license,

02:28except if the Comelec has issued exemptions.

02:32If the election period starts tomorrow,

02:34the campaign period will start on February 11.

02:38But why is it that so far,

02:40many posters and other materials with the faces or names of the aspirants have spread?

02:47The Comelec said that their hands are tied

02:49because the Supreme Court is saying that they are not yet candidates,

02:53but on February 11, or even at the start of the campaign period.

02:58Their big tarpaulin,

03:00their big posters on the streets,

03:02their faces saying,

03:03Hi, hello, goodbye, welcome.

03:05We cannot remove them because they are not yet candidates.

03:08The local governments should be the ones who can remove them.

03:12In Quezon City, the City Hall has already banned the posters of aspirants

03:18that are attached to the posts of Kuryente,

03:21Street Signs, Traffic Lights, Signal Posts, Tulay, Overpass,

03:25and other public facilities.

03:28The Comelec said that they can only start reporting illegal campaign material

03:3372 hours or three days before February 11.

03:37We are going to write you a letter, remove the material.

03:40If within three days, you will not remove it,

03:43we will file, we will disqualify you.

03:46We have the power to motoprobe you because it's a disqualification case.

03:50Let's not use the argument that I didn't use it.

03:53In the end, you are the one who benefits from it.

03:56Since March 28, the government's assistance is prohibited,

04:00but the Comelec allowed some programs of DSWD, DOH, and DOLE

04:05as long as there is no candidate who will contribute to the assistance itself.

04:10The Comelec will not prohibit the requirement of guarantee letters

04:13for those who will be hospitalized.

04:15For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
