With the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections slated for November 2, the Senate only has over two months to conduct plenary debates and put the measure to a vote
A bill to fix the term of office for barangay officials and Sangguniang Kabataan members to five years has been introduced in the Philippine Senate.
Senator Francis Escudero sponsored the bill, which also proposes to postpone the upcoming barangay and SK elections to November 2028, allowing officials more time to implement their programs.
