The House, in a plenary session, approved House Bill 4673 that reschedules the December 5, 2022 elections to December 4, 2023.
“We need to pass this law as soon as possible because time is of the essence. The barangay and SK elections is just a few months away so we are hoping that we can approve this in the House on or before October 1,” Dalipe earlier said.Dalipe maintained that the Senate has made a clear commitment that they would pass their counterpart measure to allow the postponement of the barangay elections.
Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, one of the bill’s oppositors, meanwhile echoed the concern of Garcia that a postponement of the barangay elections to December 2023 will be a costly exercise because additional funds would be needed to the tune of P18.358 billion constituting the P7.5 billion savings as continuing appropriation and an additional budget of P10.858 billion.
