Commission on Elections
has set from June 27 to 29 the public hearings here on the proposal to postpone the holding of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections in Negros Oriental and advised residents to put in writing whether or not they would agree to the move.
The public hearings were an offshoot of the calls from the Senate and some national government officials to exclude Negros Oriental from the barangay and SK polls set on Oct. 30 to avert more incidents of threats, intimidation, and violence in the province that were highlighted by the killing of Gov. Roel Degamo and nine other persons in Pamplona town last March 4.
