Advertising on Buses * Philippines - Limit pol ads on buses to 2 x 3 feet
Manila,Philippines -ABS/CBN News -19 Feb 2010: -- Political advertisements on private cars and public utility buses are not against the law, but they should not obstruct the driver's view, according to a Commission on Elections (Comelec) official... Expressing his personal opinion, Comelec Commissioner, Nicodemo Ferrer, said stickers and other election propaganda on private cars and those often found at the back of buses are not against the Fair Election Act... Ferrer said the Comelec will be drafting guidelines with respect to the size of the ads on public utility buses... He suggested that images on the back or sides of public utility buses should not be bigger than 2 feet by 3 feet... Ferrer said this is to prevent abuse of the provisions on the Fair Election Act concerning the size of propaganda materials... What is important, he said, is that the images posted on vehicles should not obstruct the view of the driver...
