Senator Imee R. Marcos
Statement on the difference between Setting the Term of Barangay Officials and the BSKE Postponement

Mr. Macalintal speaks of postponement while the intention of the bill is clearly to set the term of barangay officials.

The power of Congress under Section 8, Article X of the Constitution to set the term of office of barangay officials is very clear.

Not even the Supreme Court can deny Congress this power.
