This case concerns the constitutionality of Section 11(b) of the Electoral Reforms Law of 1987, which prohibits newspapers, radio/TV stations, and other media from selling or donating print/airtime for political campaigns except to the Commission on Elections. Petitioners argue this is an unconstitutional restriction on freedom of speech and press. However, the Supreme Court upheld the law, finding that the Comelec has authority under the Constitution to regulate media during elections to ensure equal opportunity for all candidates. The Court emphasized important state goals of preventing wealthy candidates from having undue advantage and upholding equal access to public service.
