7 poll bets in Cebu City fail to submit Soces

Ivan Rey T. Tan

SEVEN candidates in Cebu City who ran during the May 9, 2022 elections were unable to submit their Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (Soce) during its deadline on June 8, 2022.

Their names, however, are still not available as of this writing.

Marilou Paredes, acting election officer of Cebu City South District said Thursday, June 9, that these candidates will now have to submit their Soces to the Commission on Elections (Comelec's) central office in Manila.

Based on the poll body's data, those who did not submit on time were losing candidates. (With TPT)
