The first-ever parliamentary elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), scheduled for May 12 next year, cannot be deferred,
Pot Chavez & Joel E. ZurbanoThe first-ever parliamentary elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao , scheduled for May 12 next year, cannot be deferred, a Supreme Court official said on Tuesday.
In September this year, the SC declared the Sulu province not part of the BARMM after it rejected the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law. The United Bangsamoro Development Council has signed a manifesto supporting Senate Bill 2862 authored by Senate President Francis Escudero to move the elections to 2026.
Padilla filed Senate Bill 2875 creating the special geographic area to be known as Kutawato province, which will cover 63 “orphaned” barangays that opted to join BARMM in 2019.
