All electoral candidates during the election are required to submit
their SOCE (statement of contributions and expenditures) and required to
do so in 30 days after the election day, 4 out of 5 presidential
candidate submitted their SOCE on time except Mar Roxas. Under the
resolution, a presidential candidate who failed to file a campaign
expenditure report would have to pay a fine of P30,000 for the first
offense and P60,000 for the second offense.
Liberal party’s elecion lawyer Romulo Macalintal said their’s nothing
to worry about, “I’m not aware of his SOCE (statement of contributions
and expenditures) not having filed on time pero nothing to worry about
kasi I’m sure he’d file,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rep. Barry Gutierrez, ruling coalition spokesperson, said Roxas has asked for an extension.
“A request for extension was sent to Comelec today, asking for an
additional 14 days within which to complete the filing for Mar Roxas and
the Liberal Party,” Gutierrez said to GMA News.
“The primary reason is the voluminous number of receipts that have to
be scanned and attached to the document, in compliance with the rules
and in the interest of complete transparency,” he added.
June 8, 2016 at 5 pm was the deadline of SOCE submission.
