The Commission on Elections is set to issue a resolution presuming celebrities and influencers endorsing candidates for Eleksyon 2025 are paid contractors.“Ipapasa namin ngayong araw, pag gumamit ng celebrity, ipre-presume namin na bayad ang celebrity. Therefore, wag sasabihin samin na libre o kaibigan…sapagkat mayroon nang presumption of payment,” Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia told Kapihan sa Manila Bay on Wednesday.

Section 14 of Republic Act 7166, or the Synchronized Elections Act, states that every candidate or treasurer of a political party shall file in duplicate with the offices of the Comelec the “full, true and itemized statement of all contributions and expenditures in connection with the election” within 30 days after the elections.Candidates who will not file SOCEs will be charged with an administrative offense and will be liable to pay a fine ranging from P1,000 to P30,000.
