Comelec: 'Majority' of 2022 national election candidates file SOCE
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections said the majority of the 2022 national candidates filed their statement of contributions and expenditures (SOCE) on time this year, allowing winning candidates who complied to hold their positions.
