Practice question
A campaign files a document showing only one net cash figure. It deliberately omits the sources and itemized amounts of contributions and the itemized expenditures, arguing that a document called SOCE necessarily satisfies section 14. Assume no rule authorizes this substitute. Which analysis is correct?
- The title alone establishes complete compliance.
- The statutory full, true, itemized disclosure requirement is not satisfied merely by labeling an incomplete net figure as the required statement.
- A candidate may omit all donations if they were spent.
- COMELEC can never examine the filing's contents.
- Only the printer's certification matters.
