Sorbito said they will make a report about it and submit this to the province which in turn will be passed to the regional COMELEC before it reaches the main office.

It is up to the main office, Sorbito said, on how to act on the reports they submitted given that candidates themselves are also required to file an affidavit of compliance everytime they conduct campaign activities.
