Disposal of campaign paraphernalia is a problem. After every election season, sidewalks and buildings are usually left covered with volumes of campaign materials.
So who’s responsible for clearing the mess?
Re-elected Cainta mayor Kit Nieto showed us how politicians should handle the dirty work.
A day after the May 9 elections, he was seen on a truck leading a group cleaning up the campaign materials in their area. A Facebook post about it has gone viral.
The well-loved mayor won the recent elections with a sweeping 96.5% of the votes.
In most places around the country, campaign materials can still be seen plastered on walls and littered on streets. Three days after the elections, five trucks of campaign garbage was collected in the city of Manila alone.
How are local officials in your area doing?
