9 March 2010Dear Mr. Carandang:Please find attached herewith the media campaign spending data of the presidential candidates, as perNielsen report. There are two sets of data: the first covers the period of 100 days prior to the official start of the campaign period; the second covers the period of 9 February to 8 March 2010.May we just invite your attention to the following relevant information:The data from Nielsen is computed, based on the published rate card of the broadcast networks and the printmedia outlets. The Fair Election Act, however, mandates the media outlets to give the candidates a discount of 30%, 20%, and 10% for TV, Radio, and print, respectively. Thus, we have applied the mandated discounts tothe figures reported by Nielsen, which are based on published rates. Based on the foregoing, the discountedtotal media spending of the candidates for the period of 9 February to 8 March 2010 would be as follows:Villar 98,134,336.30Aquino 77,955,959.90Estrada 69,742,769.60Gordon 48,647,420.50Teodoro 31,500.00Villanueva 0.00Ranged against the campaign spending limit per presidential candidate of P500M (P10 per registered voter x50 million registered voters), the candidates' campaign spending on media can be expressed as percentagesof the total campaign spending limit, thusly:Villar 21%Aquino 16%Estrada 15%Gordon 10%
