Senate bets rush to comply as 61 out of 64 file SOCEs


Sixty-one out of 64 senatorial bets filed their statements of contributions and expenditures (SOCE) as the filing ended on Wednesday night, 11 June.
Meanwhile, 141 out of 155 party-list groups that participated in the 12 May elections filed their SOCEs.
Out of 28 political parties, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said 25 complied with the requirement.
Comelec Chairperson George Garcia said candidates, party-list groups, and political parties that have twice violated SOCE filing face criminal charges and perpetual disqualification from holding public office.
In the 2022 polls, Garcia said the Comelec filed over 400 cases against candidates, party-list groups, and political parties for failing to file their SOCEs.
