MANILA, Philippines — Reelectionist Sen. Leila de Lima is urging the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to review and eliminate its election campaign permit system, calling it an added burden for political parties and candidates.

 

She also argued that the permit system infringes on candidates' rights to conduct activities during campaign period and may contribute to bureaucratic red tape. 

 

De Lima made these comments shortly after the 90-day campaign period for national candidates began, and after Comelec said that presidential aspirant and labor leader Leody de Guzman and his running mate Walden Bello failed to secure a permit to hold their proclamation rally on February 8.
