The Commission on Elections would need an additional P3.8 billion if they were to organize the election of constitutional convention delegates alongside the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections in October.
Garcia said the additional P3.827 billion would be needed for the increased honorarium for teachers who will serve as Board of Election Inspectors as they would be manually counting votes in the barangay, SK, and con-con delegate elections.
