House Extends Terms Of Barangay, SK Officials
The Philippine Star
|June 11, 2025
Voting 153-4 with one abstention, officials and members of the House of Representatives have approved on third and final reading a proposed measure extending the terms of barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials from three to six years.
House Bill (HB) 11287 was approved in the plenary late Monday, when sessions of the bicameral Congress resumed after a four-month break to give way to the campaign period for the May 12 elections.
The bill was approved on second reading in January, also after the 2024 Christmas break.
HB 11287, authored by Speaker Martin Romualdez, seeks to give elected barangay and SK officials two- and one-term limits, respectively, with elections to be held every six years, on the second Monday of May, starting in 2029.
The measure provides that incumbent barangay and SK officials elected (BSKE) in October 2023 shall remain in office until the next elections on May 2029, unless sooner removed or suspended for a cause.
