Belmonte wants increase in campaign expenditure cap

Veteran politician and Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. wants the cap on campaign expenditures significantly increased, saying that the law governing such has became outdated.

Belmonte made the pitch on the day that the Commission on Elections called on at least 20 lawmakers to vacate their post for their failure to submit the Statement of Election Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE).
