Kabataan party-list yesterday asserted that extending the terms of barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials constitutes a breach of the 1987 Constitution. The party-list group voiced strong opposition to the move, arguing it undermines the fundamental principles of local governance and democratic processes within the Philippines. They maintain that the extension disregards established term limits designed to ensure accountability and fresh representation. This challenge raises concerns about the legality and implications of prolonging the tenure of current officials at the barangay level. Kabataan party-list has vowed to further contest the extension, potentially through legal channels, to protect constitutional safeguards. The group believes this extension sets a dangerous precedent for future electoral processes in the Philippines.
