Manila Bulletin
|August 15, 2025
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has signed into law a measure extending the term of office for barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials to four years as he postponed the December 2025 BSK elections to November next year.
Republic Act No. 12232, signed by the President on Wednesday, Aug. 13, amends the current three-year term and limits barangay officials to a maximum of three consecutive terms in the same position. SK officials, meanwhile, are limited to one term.
Under the law, the next barangay and SK elections will be held in the first Monday of November 2026 and every four years thereafter. Winners will assume office on the first day of December following their election.
All incumbent barangay and SK officials will remain in their posts until their successors have been elected and qualified, unless they are removed or suspended for cause.
