Editorial
LP leads
Feb 19, 2010
“WE WANT the party to comply with the Comelec ruling against illegal posting. We want also to respect and protect the trees, which is also part of our ecological advocacy.”
Thus explained still-sitting Gov. Eddie T. Panlilio of the Liberal Party’s move to remove its campaign materials tacked on trees or hanging outside designated common poster areas.
On Tuesday, Panlilio and his running mate Marco Lazatin led volunteers along the stretch of MacArthur Highway in the City of San Fernando in clearing the trees of posters of LP candidates, from the standard bearers Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino and Sen.Mar Roxas to its senatorial line-up.
The retrieved posters were distributed to LP supporters in the province for posting on the fences or gates of their private residences.
Earlier, we editorialized here – complete with photographs – the need to spare the trees from being vehicles of political campaigning.
We even deplored the hypocrisy of one vice presidential bet who styles herself as a champion of the environment but whose smiling face is tacked on the acacia trees along the MacArthur Highway.
“Of all people, these characters should have known better. That trees, like any other living thing, are susceptible to the intrusion of foreign objects into their being… okay, system. Nails, even staple wires, destroy their tissues.
“Of all people, these characters should have known better. That laws – those governing election campaigns included – strictly prohibit the nailing of anything on trees.
“Makes you want to collect them all in a hanging tree.” So we declared in that editorial.
The initiative of Panlilio’s LP chapter is one worth emulating by all other parties, by all other candidates.
