Senate bets dared to reveal sources of campaign funds
MANILA, Philippines - Independent senatorial aspirant Greco Belgica yesterday challenged his fellow candidates to be transparent about the sources of their campaign funds.
Belgica, a former Manila councilor who is running under the Democratic Party of the Philippines-Reporma Pilipinas, said by revealing campaign sources the voting public would know which candidates are getting support from certain individuals, groups, or business entities.
“This will bring to light who they will be working for, or protecting, if they win as senator. If our motive is really clean, then there is nothing to be afraid of or there is no reason to hide anything,†Belgica said.
He also dared re-electionist senators to clear speculations that they are using their priority development assistance fund (PDAF) or pork barrel in the election campaign.
In the case of donations, Belgica urged the candidates to reveal their donors, saying his team is creating a website where candidates could post all data concerning their campaign funds.
