Practice question
A local candidate has no party membership but receives political-party support. He claims the five-peso independent ceiling solely from nonmembership. Assume no election-specific rule alters Section 13 and no other exception applies. Which is correct?
- The proviso also requires absence of party support, so nonmembership alone does not establish entitlement
- Every nonmember automatically receives the higher ceiling
- Party support is expressly irrelevant
- Any candidate may choose either rate at will
- The higher rate automatically becomes unlimited
