SC pressed to stop enforcement of law on BSKE postponement
Manila Bulletin
|September 10, 2025
The Supreme Court (SC) has been pressed to stop the enforcement of the law that extended the term of office of Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials from three to four years, and effectively postponed to November 2026 the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) originally set on Dec. 1, 2025.
Republic Act No. 12232, which was signed into law by President Marcos last Aug. 13, extended the term of Barangay and SK officials and postponed the BSKE.
Three petitions, the first filed by lawyer Romulo B. Macalintal, asked the SC to declare unconstitutional RA 12232 and pleaded for the issuance of a TRO.
