Campaign jingles of candidates for the Synchronized Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) 2023 wake up the Filipinos. Today, October 19, marks the start of the campaign period for all barangay councilors and sangguniang kabataan aspirants, which will last until October 28. 

In Bulacan, various political parties from different barangays in various municipalities have already begun their campaigns. They tour their respective barangays on vehicles with speakers to formally introduce themselves to the voters.

On October 17, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) issued a press release to remind the Halalan2023 candidates of the guidelines for this 10-day campaign period. These guidelines adhere to the general guidelines in COMELEC Resolution No. 10924. The press release covers the discussion about the campaign paraphernalia candidates can use and the appropriate actions for potential violations.

COMELEC has established the TASK FORCE ANTI-EPAL to ensure that no one unlawfully posts campaign materials in public and private spaces.

Meanwhile, the nationwide OPERATION BAKLAS, which involves the removal of unlawful campaign materials in public places, will take place on October 20 and October 27.

Local Committees on Kontra Bigay will closely monitor any form of vote-buying and vote-selling.

BSKE 2023 will take place on October 30. COMELEC advises the public to be critical in their choice of candidates.
