Propriety suggests that they take another plane or vehicle since they are not the President; in the same light that Kris or other members of the family could not attend for and in behalf of Pnoy, nor deliver speeches for him. This is an abuse of govt properties

Kala ko ang prupose ng election laws magkaroon ng level playing field kaya may limits to spending. There were allegations all ready that Mar Roxas even before the start of campaing had all ready over spent for election campaign.
