Several lawmakers in the House of Representatives expressed their disapproval on the proposal to regulate campaign spending of political parties and candidates in elections. | NAMercadoINQ

“But we know very well that each candidate, with that number of voters, spend millions of pesos, not only millions of pesos but hundreds of millions of pesos,” he added.

“This Section 4 proposes that the state shall regulate the expenses and even the contributions. Pati contribution papakialaman na eh nangangailangan nga tayo ng contribution every candidate [It meddles even with contributions when every candidate needs contribution],” the lawmaker said.“In the sense that, if you are talking about campaign assistance, who needs it most? It’s the marginalized and underrepresented not those who actually or maybe have the power, have the money,” Salo said.

Another provision in IATF’s proposal states that “Congress shall also provide for a party development fund to qualified and registered political parties for political party strengthening and campaign.”“That will encourage a new industry—a political industry dahil may development fund coming from the government. Just like what Deputy Speaker Pimentel said, this is really a stupid proposal,” Pichay said.

The committee was scheduled to vote on IATF’s proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution during Wednesday’s hearing.
