Hanggang sa Hunyo 13, na lamang ang deadline ng mga kumandidato nitong midterm elections sa pagsusumite ng Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE) sa Commission on Elections (Comelec).
“The Commission on Elections reminds all candidates and electoral parties who participated in the 2019 National and Local Elections to file their Statements of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE) on or before June 13, 2019,” abiso ng Comelec.
Ayon sa Comelec, dapat sana ay ngayong araw, Hunyo 12, ang deadline ngunit dahil natapat ito sa Independence Day, na regular holiday sa bansa, nagpasya ang Comelec na gawin na lamang na Hunyo 13 ang deadline.
“Pursuant to Republic Act No. 7166, all persons who filed a certificate of candidacy (COC) and all electoral parties shall file a true and correct SOCE within 30 days from Election Day. However, in view of the initial June 12, 2019 deadline for the 2019 NLE falling on a holiday, the deadline has been extended to June 13, 2019,” sabi ng poll body.
