BSKE results 'crucial' to nat'l politics

By Nidz Godino

"Results of barangay elections today are going to have effect on results of midterm elections and subsequently in national elections," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.  told reporters after casting his vote in Batac City, Ilocos Norte outcomes of  Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections are "crucial" in shaping  national political landscape. FMJ said as Filipinos head to polls to choose their village leaders. 

Barangay  is  smallest political unit in the Philippines, but its leaders have considerable influence. Political parties strategically utilize council posts to establish grassroots power bases. 

 "As  national politician, I always say that of all elected officials, it is  barangay officials who can actually tell you, 'I will deliver this many votes,'" he stressed.

In August, FMJ said his political party, Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, had been preparing for all political cycles, including barangay elections,  expected to have  "big impact" on utcomes of  2025 midterm polls. 

"We need  support at  barangay level," he said then. 

Filipinos head to polling centers to choose leaders responsible for delivering basic public services and implementing national policies for first time in five years…over 672,000 seats are up for grabs in long-delayed elections. 

Chief  executive reminded voters not to sell their votes. 

"My advice is not to waste your right to choose your barangay officials. ..these officials are  ones you face every day, and they are your go-to people to help with your problems," FMJ said. 

He assured  public government will do its part to enforce rules  prohibit vote-buying and selling of votes. 

Department of the Interior and Local Government has called on public to report any significant presence of poll watchers during  BSKE, as it might indicate potential vote buying

In release issued ahead of village polls, Abalos said  candidates should appoint only two watchers to serve alternately in every polling center to avoid allegations of vote buying. 

According to Commission on Elections' Resolution 10946, there can be  presumption of vote buying if  candidate appoints more than two watchers per precinct. 

"I am urging public to be vigilant and report to COMELEC or DILG if they notice precincts with numerous poll watchers…we will investigate thoroughly and take appropriate action," Abalos said.

Candidates found guilty of vote buying could face imprisonment of up to six years and perpetual disqualification from public office. 

Omnibus Election Code states  appointments of watchers should bear  signature of  candidate or  duly authorized representatives of  political party who appointed them. 

Poll watchers have  right to witness proceedings of  Board of Electoral Inspectors, document their observations, take photographs of  proceedings and incidents, if any, and file  protest against any irregularities or violations of law which they believe may have been committed. 

Country's first-ever mall voting initiative saw  high turnout during  2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections,  poll body said. 

Initiative  aims to enhance  convenience and accessibility of voting for Filipinos, particularly vulnerable sectors. 

Pilot  testing of mall voting, held in 11 shopping centers across country, drew  significant number of voters, Commission on Elections spokesperson Rex Laudiangco said in  interview with media.

Laudiangco said Comelec plans to expand  mall voting initiative in  2025 midterm elections. 

"We'll conduct it on  broader scale with  help of our partner malls because this initiative is at no cost to Comelec and to  government… funded entirely by our partner malls," he said.

initiative was conducted in collaboration with major mall chains SM and Robinsons. 

Watchdog Legal Network for Truthful Elections said  persons with disabilities, senior citizens and pregnant women availed of early voting hours and mall voting. 

It noted voting procedure was generally smooth in many participating malls. Its watchers also reported majority of  precincts were located on upper floors. 

Filipinos flocked to polling centers to choose leaders responsible for delivering basic public services for  first time in five years. Over 672,000 seats are up for grabs in  long-delayed elections.

Comelec' pilot implementation of  early voting scheme for vulnerable sectors turned up favorable results during  2023 BSKE.

Pilot tested in just two cities  Naga and Muntinlupa City  early voting scheme allowed senior citizens and PWD voters to cast their votes from 5. to 7 in the morning ahead of  regular opening of precincts.

Early  voting option was  "blockbuster" among those cities' constituents, Comelec Chairperson George Garcia said in  interview with media. 

"When I was there early this morning I was so amazed, I really appreciate  fact that our senior citizens woke up early, even PWDs… there even with assisters, who were also allowed to vote," Garcia said.

Garcia added  based on turnout in the two pilot locations, early voting scheme should be implemented nationwide.

 "We would like to make  conclusion in 2025 onwards we should now have early voting hours in  conduct of our national elections, we're hoping Congress will be able to pass an early voting law. ..at least one week ahead of  elections, vulnerable sectors should be allowed to vote," Garcia said.

Garcia acknowledged  despite  positive outcome of  early voting scheme, some senior citizens and PWDs were inconvenienced by having to sign documents prior to casting their vote. 

Poll  body tested its early voting option in this year's long-awaited BSKE in  hopes of improving  voting process for vulnerable sectors even as  Early Voting Bill remains pending in Congress. 

Early Voting Bill was transmitted to  Senate in May after being approved on final reading at  House of Representatives.
