COMELEC Favors Extension on SOCE Submission, Advantage to Liberal Party
For whatever reasons, the Commission on Elections(COMELEC) announced the extension of submission of statement of contributions and expenditures (SOCE). The sudden shift was formally reported by local news outlets, thus, any political party is now allowed to proceed the late filing of required documents.
Other political analysts predicted the decision of the COMELEC while others are vehemently opposing the judgment of the national elections officials. In general, this topic has sparked an online debate since the rule was clearly disseminated to all political parties that the hard deadline would only be until June 8, 2016.
