BACOLOD City –Negros Occidental Provincial Election Supervisor Atty. Jessie Suarez has reminded those interested to run in the upcoming barangay and SangguniangKabataan (SK) elections to submit their Statements of Contribution and Expenditures (SOCE).
Suarez said the candidates – win or lose – must pass their SOCEs to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) right after the polls.
Under Comelec’sResolution No. 9991, the candidates are required to pass their SOCEs not later than five days after the conduct of the elections.
