“Because in effect what will happen is dadami lang sila sa dulo, pag nagsiksikan na sila ‘pag magsasara na ‘yonng registration period,” he said.
The Comelec spokesperson further noted that a possible postponement of the barangay and SK elections is always “at the back of our minds” and said the poll body would continue with its preparations for the upcoming elections. “Maganda nga na nasi-signal sa atin kung ano ‘yong immediate future natin para makapag-react din tayo,” he said.
The President had previously signed into law Republic Act 10952 postponing the Oct. 23, 2017 barangay and SK elections until the second Monday of May 2018.
