MANILA, Philippines - The administration wants the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections to push through this October but proposes that the next elections be synchronized with the 2013 midterm elections.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is proposing that the terms of barangay and SK officials elected in October be cut by about five months so the next elections could be synchronized with the May 2013 midterm polls.
“The preference now of the President is to synchronize everything. Let’s save cost, let’s synchronize everything. Let’s push through with the elections in October and then we will be introducing a bill,” Lacierda said."
