The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) warned local officials against using their names and photos in the distribution of assistance to people who were affected by the re-implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila and four adjacent provinces.
DILG Undersecretary and spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said the assistance coming from the P22.9 billion fund ordered released by President Duterte should not be used for the 2022 elections.
He said violators will be held liable under Section 82 of the General Appropriations Act, which prohibits the use of the name, visage, appearance, logo, signature, or any other analogous image of any public official, whether elected or appointed, on all programs, activities, and projects of the government.
