Upcoming Barangay and SK elections...

The 2010 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections are now being prepared by the candidates who wish to serve their barangays. COMELEC said manual voting will be used. There were rumors that this election will be postponed but this week, I observed that those rumors are gone. Therefore, elections will push through this coming October 25, 2010 and has been declared as a non-working holiday under Proclamation No. 48 signed last October 6 by Executive Secretary Paquito “Jojo” Ochoa Jr.

Moreover, a nationwide gunban took effect on September 25 and will last until November 10, or 15 days after the synchronized barangay and SK elections to avoid another murder or ambush of rival parties to happen.
