Keakopa, who was addressing the media about the voters roll amongst others, alleged that the BDP has access to unlimited funding because the latter awards tenders to companies. “We don’t have access to resources and we wouldn’t be worried about funding if we had the means to invite these rich individuals to our fundraising events and sell golf balls worth P350,000,” he said.
