The campaign period
for the local election is already started last week. From there on up to
present, I noticed that there is a big change on the scenery on our way to work
particularly in the San Jose Del Monte-Marilao Road (along Prenza-Loma de Gato
area). The roadside looks like trash due to emerging pasting of posters/banners
of the candidates for the local elections. Walls, electrical posts, trees,
waiting sheds, as well as bridge were not excused from these posters. These were an eyesore for me.

| Even bridges aren't excused |

Mommy and I were
discussing about this matter.
Me: Wala na silang pinalagpas na
area. Lahat ng pwedeng lagyan nilagyan na. (They
did not excuse any area. Where ever they can post they will.)
Mommy: Oo nga. Nakaka-turn-off ung mga kandidato. Picturan mo kaya tapos padala mo sa Bayan Patroler?(Yes, it makes me turn-off with those candidates. Why not take photos and send it to Bayan Patroler?)
Me: Pwede. Parang wala silang pakiaalam sa
environment no? Lilinisin din kaya nila yan pagkatapos ng election? (Why
not! It seems that they don’t care for the environment. Will they clean those
after the election?)
Mommy: Naku ‘wag kang tatayo katabi ng mga poste,
baka pati ikaw madikitan ng mga poster! (Oh my, don’t stand beside the
posts, they might put poster on you too.)
Toinks! May tama si Mommy! (Mommy has a point!).
LOL
I know that there are
rules and regulation with regards to posting of campaign materials. However,
with these scenarios, I think there is a laxity in the implementation of the said
rules.
How about you, does your area looks like this too?
