Earlier, Comelec chairman George Erwin Garcia said the poll body is expecting the other local and national candidates to submit their SOCEs on Tuesday and Wednesday. He also reiterated that there will be no extension for the deadline of the filing period.

National candidates and party-lists may file their SOCEs with the Comelec Political Finance and Affairs Department (PFAD) in Intramuros, Manila while local bets may submit their SOCEs at the local Comelec office where they filed their Certificate of Candidacy (COC).

Local parties may lodge their SOCEs at the local poll body office where the party has constituency based on its registration and accreditation.

Under Section 14 of Republic Act (RA) 7166 or the Synchronized Elections Act, every candidate or treasurer of a political party shall file in duplicate with the offices of the Comelec the “full, true and itemized statement of all contributions and expenditures in connection with the election” within 30 days after the elections. 

Candidates who will not file SOCEs will be charged with an administrative offense and will be liable to pay a fine ranging from P1,000 to P30,000.00 at the discretion of the poll body, with the exemption of aspirants in the barangay level. For winning bets or political parties, failure to comply may also withhold their assumption of office.

Section 13 of RA 7166 provides the limitation of authorized expenses of candidates and political parties. It states that candidates vying for presidency and vice-presidency shall spend P10 for every voter currently registered in the constituency where he filed his certificate of candidacy.  Aspirants with political parties will be allowed to spend P3 for every voter while independent candidates will be allowed up to P5. 

Political parties, for their part, are allowed up to P5 for every voter currently registered in the constituency or constituencies where it has official candidates. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
