Comelec is after bets with campaign materials still displayed
By J.Lo
“We gave them five days after elections to remove their campaign materials…it’s been more than five days,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) will go after candidates in recently held midterm polls whose campaign materials are still left hanging in public places.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia said they will not let local and national candidates get away from leaving their campaign materials on display beyond allowable period set by the commission.
Garcia said even if they are not able to disqualify candidates after elections, they can still file criminal case against them.
“Because that’s election offense,” he said.
Garcia said they can also run after these erring candidates on the issue of campaign materials, if they will participate in future elections.
“Those that committed violations now can still be held accountable the next time they file their Certificates of Candidacy again in future elections,” he said.
Garcia gave instructions to their field personnel to check whose campaign materials are still posted in public places.
He said Comelec’s Task Force Baklas continues to monitor with local Comelec offices as to reports concerning campaign materials.
Under Comelec Resolution 11086, candidates shall remove or cause to remove all their election propaganda within five days after elections. Failure to do so shall constitute election offense.
Comelec warned all candidates, elected or not, to file accurate statement of contributions and expenditures (SOCE) with poll body or be filed with criminal case.
Garcia said all candidates, including party-list groups and those who withdrew while campaign was ongoing, have obligation to file “truthful” SOCE on or before June 11.
“If you file SOCE with discrepancy, you will face falsification and perjury charges… that is lying…if in case you did not file SOCE for two consecutive times, criminal case can be filed against you as well as perpetual disqualification to hold public office,” the poll body chief said.
“If candidate’s expenses went beyond what is allowed, that is ground for disqualification…we can still enforce this even after elections,” Garcia said.
Apart from the amount, Garcia stressed SOCE should also reflect names of contributors.
“There are contributors who don’t like it when they don’t see their names on the list… we will upload SOCE in Comelec website,” Garcia said.
Non-filing of SOCE would entail paying administrative fine.
Under Republic Act 7166, every candidate and treasurer of political party must file their “full, true and itemized” statement of all contributions and expenditures in connection with election within 30 days after election day.
ISKUP!
