Legal consequences for not filing Soce
The Commission on Elections in Davao Region (Comelec-Davao) has emphasized the legal consequences for candidates who fail to file their Statements of Contributions and Expenditures (Soce) for the recent Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) 2023. Lawyer Gay Enumerables, the acting regional director of Comelec-Davao Region, stated that there are sanctions for non-compliance, but it is the Comelec central office that will decide and notify the candidates. Enumerables also mentioned that the deadline for Soce filing was extended to accommodate the high number of candidates, and there is no reason for them to forget their Soce since it is a requirement. The filing period for Soce began on October 30 and concluded on November 29. Failure to submit the required statements or reports on electoral contributions and expenditures will result in penalties, and offenders will be barred from holding public positions. The specific penalties range from fines of P1,000 to P30,000 for the first offense and fines of P2,000 to P60,000 for the second offense. Comelec-Davao Region has yet to provide data on the Soce filed within its jurisdiction......»»
