The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in the Philippines is prepared to adhere to any decision made by the Supreme Court regarding the law governing the terms of barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials. Comelec Chair George Garcia announced this readiness during a media briefing held on Wednesday in Manila. The announcement follows President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s signing of Republic Act No. 12326 on September 24th. While the specifics of the law and pending Supreme Court review were not detailed, Garcia emphasized the Comelec’s commitment to compliance. The ruling will affect the scheduling and administration of elections for local barangay and youth SK positions throughout the Philippines. The Comelec is currently awaiting the Supreme Court’s directive to proceed accordingly with election preparations.
