Why did Congress allot a P14-billion budget for Comelec for the conduct of its plebiscites in 2024, when the poll body only wanted P2 billion?
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) does not have a dozen of plebiscites planned this year, yet Congress gave the poll body a budget of P14.2 billion for such electoral exercises for 2024.
That’s a whopping increase of nearly P12 billion, from around P2.5 billion that the Comelec requested.
What gives? Is this related to charter change?
