MANILA (UPDATE) — The camp of President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. spent over P623 million to carry out his Halalan 2022 campaign that catapulted his family back to Malacañang.

National candidates were only allowed to spend P674 million for their campaign, or P10 for each for 67.44 million registered voters.

Marcos Jr., 64, received more than double the votes of his nearest rival, outgoing Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo.

He ran his campaign on a theme of unity and making the nation rise again following the COVID-19 pandemic.
