Practice question: Prohibited Contributions

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A school received exactly PHP100,000 in public grants. Its officer proposes a partisan donation, arguing that Section 95(f) requires more than PHP100,000, like the separate government-loan category. Which reading is correct?
  1. The educational-grant category uses no less than PHP100,000, so the stated amount reaches its threshold
  2. Both categories invariably require more than PHP1 million
  3. Exactly PHP100,000 is below every possible statutory threshold
  4. The grant is irrelevant solely because the school is private
  5. The school may choose whichever threshold it prefers
