Congressman LRay Villafuerte (2nd district, Camarines Sur) and Governor Migz Villafuerte were named as top ad spenders in social media, specifically Facebook.
Both father and son spent about P794,000 (LRay) for ad spending on Facebook, while his son Migz spent on ads for about P993,000.
It is not known if public funds were used.
Otherwise, such big money could have been used to buy more rice, food packs, and maintenance medicines for the sickly poor in Camarines Sur.
Other big Facebook ad spenders also included Senator Win Gatchalian (P4.5 million), former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV (P1.07 million), and Buhay Party-list Rep. Lito Atienza (P700,000).
