The Supreme Court’s decision on the law that postponed the holding of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections from December 5, 2022, to the last Monday of October 2023 won’t affect the Commission on Elections’ preparations.
With the SC decision, Garcia also said the Comelec will be mandated to hold another BSKE in 2025 as barangay and SK officials who will be elected this year will only be allowed to serve for two years. “The present barangay and SK officials need sufficient time to implement their programs which have been sidetracked by the pandemic. Furthermore, it is high time that the term of barangay and SK officials be extended. We must keep in mind that barangay and SK officials are often tasked to implement not only their own programs and projects but also those of the local and national government,” Marcos, chairperson of the Senate electoral reforms, said.
