House leaders, led by Speaker Martin Romualdez, filed Tuesday a bill seeking to postpone the inaugural May 2025 polls in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to May 2026.
“This postponement is not a delay in progress, but rather a necessary step to ensure that the foundations we are building for BARMM are solid and capable of supporting a sustainable autonomous government,” Romualdez said.“This law is a testament to Congress’ dedication to the success of the BARMM, providing leaders with the time they need to complete this transition thoughtfully, inclusively, and with resilience for future generations,” he added.
