Manila - More than 31 million Euros in election posters and advertising on local TV and radio were spent between November and January by candidates in the presidential elections, also using public funds, the agency Agb Niesen Media Resarch reveals. Analysts say the exorbitant costs spent by the candidates to advertise before February 9 (official start of the campaign) are examples of endemic corruption in the country.

Geez! That's a big hell of a money!! Had they used our parents' hard earned money in a right way? I don't think so. No wonder there are people who loss trust in goverment cuz they themselves are not a good example.
