Questions whether politicians who are having advocacy ads on television are violating election laws are still unanswered. Our election code permits appearances in mass media provided they are not directly campaigning for a particular position. They are after the words, vote for me, elect me, i campaign,,, and so on. Anyway, this is the Philippines, we have so many laws with so many loopholes.
In the recent survey, the presidentiables for the 2010 election seems to be well prepared to take all the strategies just to be noticed by the public regardless of the cost involved.
If you want to know how these presidentiables spend money for their advocacy ads (or campaign ads if we can say that). These are the numbers:
Mar Roxas - 140 million
Manny Villar - 90 million
Loren Legarda - 10 million
There are also some politicians who are spending a lot on tv ads like Mayor Jejomar Binay and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.
The question is, if they are spending a lot of money in the coming election, do you think they will not get it back when elected? We know that these people are not philanthropists.

there u go, u claimed that these presidentiables/candidates are not philantrophists, cause if they are..they wont be spending that much in these tv commercials, but instead, donate these large sums of money elsewhere, where poor filipinos die in hunger...in education, medical assistance, and the likes!! un ang totoong taong dapat iboto, with or without commercial adds, panalo!!! cno un? who else but Chiz Escudero!!
