THE Department of Transportation (DOTr) warned operators not to allow political candidates to use their public utility vehicles (PUVs) for acts that may be construed as “inimical to the conduct of honest and peaceful elections” on Monday, May 14. “The DOTr warned operators to not allow candidates to use their PUVs to perform acts that are inimical to the conduct of Honest, Orderly, Peaceful Elections (HOPE). The DOTr said agencies were directed to implement 24/7 operations and ensure that all communication lines were operational, and incidents were reported real-time. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) made a call to report advertisements or campaigns violating road right-of-way. Poorly-installed signs likewise constitute serious hazards and pose imminent danger to the public in the event of strong winds and typhoons,” DPWH said.
