The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) collated all the publicly available data on Facebook Ad Spend national candidates for the 2022 elections.
VP Leni Robredo is the biggest ad spender on Facebook so far with a total of Php14.1M in FB Ads, followed by Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian at Php8.59 Million. Another Presidential aspirant, Ping Lacson, came in at 3rd with a total of Php5.36 Million.
Here’s the list presented by PCIJ.
News 5 also posted a similar table among top 3 presidential ad spenders on Facebook and compared how much they spent before and after filing for their candidacy.
These data came from Facebook Ad Library and were collected until December 31, 2021. For transparency, Facebook makes these data publicly available for verified pages of public figures/officials.
Buti nga 14m lang transparent eh si bbm bayad plng sa mayor na susuporta sa kanya 100m na. Trolls pa kaya binavayaran din di nyo ba naisip yon? Bloggers at celebs,sikat na persinalities nabayaran din. Double standard din kayo eh noh?

Waste of money Leni.
Would you rather she spends the money on social media trolls like BBM???
At least si Leni, ads lang. Ang trolls ni BBM, sandamukal na FAKE NEWS!
hoi tanga..31m na trolls? ok ka lng..hahahaha kahit tag 1 peso ang bayad jan ..mamulobi na unkle mo.
mag isip ka nmn ng bagong comment losser.
Agree! definitely a total waste of money. She should have just used those ads fund to help the Filipinos, if that’s what she really wanted. And yet someone is more happy that this Leni spends the money on ads instead of Fake News. Atleast on fake news, no money goes to waste. Atleast on fake news, you can just ignore them but dayum 12.14M for publicity stunt? What a Joke!
