THE chairman of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has warned rabble-rousers to refrain from throwing a monkey wrench in the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) on October 30 as he said the Comelec is fully-ready for the electoral process.
The barangay elections have been more historically “problematic” when it comes to peace and order compared to national and local elections, Chairman George Garcia said last Sunday.
As a part of preparation for BSKE, the poll body has ordered the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police to deploy additional forces within the vicinity of voting centers. According to Villanueva, the 2023 barangay elections are particularly significant as they provide an opportunity for Filipinos to elect leaders who will play a crucial role in shaping local policies, implementing government programs, and overseeing the efficient allocation of resources.
Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez called upon all candidates to refrain from violence and uphold the essence of democracy. Romualdez underlined that a secure electoral process is vital to safeguard the rights of all citizens. Gatchalian filed Senate Bill 1058 that, once passed into law, will create a national federation for the Sangguniang Kabataan .
