The Comelec said it welcomes the decision of the Supreme Court to deny its motion for reconsideration to move the next BSKE to 2026.
MANILA -- The Commission on Election on Tuesday said it welcomes the decision of the Supreme Court to deny its motion for reconsideration to move the next barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections to 2026.
But in its ruling, the Supreme Court said: "Since the term of office of the sitting BSKE officials shall be deemed to have ended on December 31, 2022 , the 'term' of office of the October 2023 winning candidates shall be deemed to have begun thereafter pursuant to RA 11462." "It's not our duty to question the law, more so disobey it. As it stands now, BSKE is a go by Oct. 30, 2023 and Dec. 2025 is the next one. The SC have spoken. It has the last say on the issue of constitutionality of laws and actions of officialdom," Garcia said.
