Presumptive President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is returning excess campaign fund donations he received this 2016 elections.

In a Facebook post, Marion Raagas, a Team Leader on Duterte Presidential Campaign team / Advanced Party Management System narrated the following earlier today:

What greeted me this morning as I walk into my office was a bunch of checks that I need to sign. These checks represent the pro-rated amounts of excess campaign fund contributions for Duterte campaign team (coursed thru Anonymous Patriots). I suppose this is the first time in our country’s history that excess campaign funds are voluntarily returned to generous campaign contributors. Normally, traditional politicians just pocket the difference or perhaps fund handlers just “split the loot” amongst themselves. It is also interesting to note that Mayor Duterte himself has repeatedly turned down financial contributions (regardless of amount) if fund contributor is identified to have corrupt practices or have questionable integrity. I have been a direct witness to this. Change is not coming. CHANGE is already HAPPENING

Raagas also uploaded a picture of at least 20 pieces of RCBC checks. Amounts on the check unfortunately were kept hidden.

During the height of the campaign, Duterte reportedly rejected hundreds of millions of peso campaign donations from a huge telecommunications company after he felt that he will be obliged to give the company favors should he win the election.
