Barangay executives from all over the country are thankful that President Rodrigo Duterte has called on Congress to enact a measure to postpone the barangay elections, saying that this would allow them to focus on serving their constituents instead of being distracted by politics.
This according to former Liga ng Barangay President and now Isabela 6th District Rep. Faustino “Inno” Dy V, who on Thursday said that he has been receiving calls and messages from barangay officials welcoming the President’s pronouncement imploring Congress to reschedule the May 2020 barangay elections to October 2022.
“Paiba-iba na eh. The truncated terms of sitting barangays but also provide them with the ample time to finish their programs and projects,” added the President. According to Dy, “barangay officials were only elected last year, so if barangay elections are held next year as originally scheduled, that will only give them two years to start and finish all their projects.”
