MANILA, Philippines – The campaign period for candidates running for local elective posts officially began on Friday, March 25, but because it fell on Good Friday, when campaigning is banned by the Commission on Elections, actual campaign activities began the day after on March 26.
From Cagayan up north to Basilan down south, supporters began the campaigns minus their candidates who will hold their respective kick-off rallies only after the Holy Week.
The campaign period for both local and national positions will end on May 7, just two days before the May 9, 2016 elections.
Here's a compilation of early photos of campaign preparations.
