Following the resignation of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas or KBP from the Adboard, other member-associations are reportedly considering doing the same. 


KBP earlier resigned from the Adboard due to the latter’s alleged failure to enforce standards. Sources from the grapevine say that the Outdoor Advertisers Association of the Philippines or OAAP has written the Adboard, expressing grave concern over its inaction to KBP’s dilemma.

Most expressed concern that billboards are getting or have gone out of hand. Some have given examples such as the Dasmariñas turnoff at SLEX, which is typical of the over-billboarded intersections in the city and countryside. One architect pointed out the half-naked models in underwear billboards on the same route, which he finds attractive but which his wife does not.

                    [Summary] => A group of outdoor advertising firms said yesterday it does not fully agree with the plan of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to ban billboards along major roads nationwide.


In a statement, the Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines (OAAP) said it sees as unnecessary the proposal of DPWH to ban billboards within a 100-meter radius from the center of national roads and transmission lines.

                    [Summary] => The Adboard is currently facing what could probably its biggest challenge to date. 


Following the resignation of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas or KBP from the Adboard, other member-associations are reportedly considering doing the same. 


KBP earlier resigned from the Adboard due to the latter’s alleged failure to enforce standards. Sources from the grapevine say that the Outdoor Advertisers Association of the Philippines or OAAP has written the Adboard, expressing grave concern over its inaction to KBP’s dilemma.

                    [Summary] => Aside from the issue of noise pollution, I received much feedback from readers about billboard blight. Most expressed concern that billboards are getting or have gone out of hand. Some have given examples such as the Dasmariñas turnoff at SLEX, which is typical of the over-billboarded intersections in the city and countryside. One architect pointed out the half-naked models in underwear billboards on the same route, which he finds attractive but which his wife does not.
