MMDA: Used campaign paraphernalia donated to BJMP for recycling
Campaign materials used during Eleksyon 2025 will be donated to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) for recycling, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Saturday.
The used campaign material will be used for reproduction as saleable items for the benefit of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).
Christian Maño of Super Radyo DZBB reported on Dobol B TV that MMDA personnel have been collecting campaign paraphernalia in Metro Manila after Eleksyon 2025.
In an ambush interview, MMDA Chairman Atty. Don Artes said the agency will donate the collected materials to the BJMP for reproduction as tote bags and other profitable goods of PDLs.
Earlier in the week, the MMDA reported that around 10,100 kilograms, or 11.18 tons, of campaign materials in the National Capital Region were removed on the first day of cleanup after the May 2025 midterm elections.
In its report, the MMDA said 23,452 pieces of campaign materials were collected in 16 cities and one town in the region.
Most of the removed campaign posters were from Manila, with 4.05 tons, followed by Muntinlupa with 1.66 tons and Districts II, V, and VI in Quezon City with 1.27 tons. --Jamil Santos/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
