00:18 The Commission on Elections in favor of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabatan Elections in 2026.

00:26 This is the first decision of the Supreme Court against the elections in favor of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabatan Elections in 2022.

00:35 The Supreme Court said that the public was removed from the right to vote in the regular elections.

00:41 According to Representative El Rey Villafuerte, the right to vote should be taken care of.

00:46 But he also violated the Constitution and the Local Government Code, which is a three-year term for local officials.

00:54 I filed the bill because the Constitution and the Local Government Code clearly specifies the three-year term of local officials, including barangay officials and SKA.

01:07 Because of the Supreme Court decision, the term will be cut short in two years.

01:11 If he will be elected, Villafuerte said that from October 2026, the Barangay and SKA elections will be postponed for three years.

01:19 The Supreme Court said that our decision is unconstitutional, but it does not stop Congress, both the House and the Senate from proposing a new law, setting a new date.

01:33 The Commission on Elections in favor of the elections in favor of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabatan Elections in 2025.

01:35 Only two elections will be held in 2025, the May National and Local Elections and not five months, the December Barangay and Sangguniang Kabatan Elections.

01:45 This will be the first time that the Barangay and SKA elections will be postponed for a few months in 2026.
