MANILA, Philippines — Supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo, who are all private individuals, have asked the Supreme Court to stop the Commission on Elections from enforcing its “Oplan Baklas."

 

Robredo’s supporters from Capiz, Cagayan, Isabela and Zamboanga City on Tuesday filed an Extremely Urgent Petition for Certiorari, Prohibition and Mandamus and asked the SC to issue a temporary restraining order to prohibit the poll body from implementing parts of its Resolution 10730.

 

Specifically, they asked the tribunal to stop the implementation of parts of the resolution with respect to dismantling and removing campaign materials that “are privately owned and privately funded” by volunteers and civilians posted within their private properties.
