He made the statement when asked about the possible postponement of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan polls after the Comelec Region 7 last week said that aIf the recommendations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the PNP are the same, Acorda said the Comelec will have an easy decision on the conduct of barangay and SK elections in the province.
