Looking at the 2016 presidential candidates’ personal net worth is a good way to understand how they manage their wealth, and how they might manage the Philippine economy should they get elected.

There are only days left before the 2016 presidential elections, yet many voters continue to look for additional information regarding the candidates. While not the be-all-and-end-all in selecting the next national leader, their net worth is a good indicator of how they manage their personal wealth, and how that possibly translates into their ability to lead the growth of the Philippine economy should they get elected.

To that end, we list the individual net worth of Vice President Jejomar Binay, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, and Senators Grace Poe-Llamanzares and Miriam Defensor Santiago based on their latest Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN), and attempt to quantify these by exploring the real estate possibilities that could be afforded by their personal wealth.

We only have 3 day left going into the 2016 National Elections, have you chosen your Vice Presidential Candidate? How well do you each of their platforms?

May 9 is the set date for every Filipino to elect the next government official of the country. And wIth only a few days left, all candidates are in full swing to campaign their platforms and agendas for the country in the next six years. In fact, everyday we are bombarded with political advertisements from TV commericial telling the life story of each candidate to banners and streamers with their face and designated ballot number. Not to mention, the country’s biggest media conglomerates have initiated different several rounds of debate to give candidate an avenue to present their platforms and campaign materials. But with so much going on in the media today, how well do you know each of their plans for the country?

Traffic congestion, poverty, poor health system, rise of unemployment rate, inadequate education and lack of infrastructure are some of the issues that the country is currently facing. All candidates have pristine political background and genuine intent to make the country better in all aspects but are they truly up for the challenge?

We have 6 lawmakers vying for the second-highest position in the government namely Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, Senator Chiz Escudero, Senator Gregorio Honasan II, Senator Bongbong Marcos Jr., Camarines Sur Representative Leni Robredo, and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.
