Senators had clashing opinions after the Supreme Court ruled that the law postponing the Barangay and Sangguniang Elections was unconstitutional.

Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel on Wednesday said the Supreme Court’s ruling on the postponement of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections validated his earlier stand that there were no compelling reasons to delay the polls.

Pimentel said the ruling is a significant milestone that has been achieved in safeguarding the democratic processes in the country. “The present barangay and SK officials need sufficient time to implement their programs which have been sidetracked by the pandemic. It is high time that the term of barangay and SK officials be extended,” she said in a statement.
