MANILA, Philippines — Campaigning is strictly prohibited on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said yesterday. Comelec Commissioner Luie Guia said candidates should refrain from any form of campaigning during these two days in respect for Lent. Gariguez said even on regular days, churches and parishes remind parishioners to dress appropriately when going to mass. DOH Undersecretary Eric Domingo said these hospitals must be on alert for possible influx of patients during the Holy Week. Earlier, the DOH cautioned the public against heat stroke and other diseases they might contract during Holy Week.
