A Philippines Senator receives P204, 000 monthly or P17, 136,000 for his/her six years’ term including his/her 14th month pay (Yes Virginia! Government workers in the Philippines received their 13th and 14th months pays nowadays).
Why on hell that some of the candidates of the same office could spend more or less P1 billion each just to win a post that gives each of the 24 members only more than P17 million salary in six years? Quite an incredible amount that could baffle an ordinary spectator.
