Editing Prohibition (section)

====Philippines====
There are only restrictions during elections in the Philippines. Alcohol is prohibited to be sold, furnished, offered, bought, or took the day prior to an election and on the day of an election itself. Hotels and restaurants may secure a prior exemption but even then they are only allowed to serve alcohol to non-Filipino citizens. Private consumption of alcohol hoarded prior to the ban period is tolerated. The Philippine [[Commission on Elections]] may opt to extend the liquor ban. In the [[2013 Philippine general election|2013 elections]], there was a proposal that it be extended to five days. This was overturned by the Supreme Court.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Avendaño |first1=Christine |last2=Tubeza |first2=Philip |title=Cheers!

Other than election-related prohibition, alcohol is freely sold to anyone above the [[legal drinking age]].
