Bacolod Election Officer Ryan Castro yesterday called on all local candidates in Bacolod City who have not yet filed their Sworn Statement of Election Contributions and Expenditures to do so on or before the new deadline set by the Commission on Elections on June 24, 2010.
Castro said the deadline for the filing of statements of winning and losing candidates and political parties who took part in the May 10 elections was Wednesday under COMELEC Resolution 8944. But Commissioner Rene Sarmiento said the election body has granted a petition by the party list group Akbayan Citizen’s Party 15 more days to file their statements, he said. Castro said the COMELEC granted the petition and the decision was to give all other candidates extension also until June 24 to file their statement of contributions and expenditures. He said winning candidates who fail to file their statement cannot assume duty as the proclaimed candidate, according to Section 17 of COMELEC Resolution 8944. Those who fail to file their statements on time and those who do not file at all, will be meted administrative fines ranging from P1,000 to P30,000 at the discretion of the COMELEC, Castro said. The fines will increase from P2,000-P50,000 for those who continue to violate such requirement for several elections, he said, adding that it is very likely that they cannot seek an elective post in the next elections. Castro said there are three congressional candidates, one mayoralty, one vice mayoralty candidate, and 19 candidates for councilors who have not filed their statements as of yesterday. He asked them to comply with the requirements by submitting their statements as soon as possible on or before June 24. Those who have already filed their SSECE’s as of 4 p.m. yesterday were Bacolod congressman-elect Dr. Anthony Golez Jr. – P665,241.30; and congressional candidates Ricardo Tan – P479,483.81 and Renecito Novero – P150,000. Mayor Evelio Leonardia – P718,785.65; and mayoralty candidates Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella – P748,000 and Vladimir Gonzalez – P383,899.05.
