Basilan Rep. Mujiv Hataman has filed a bill to reschedule the Dec. 5 village and SK elections to the second Monday of May 2024.
“Nasa gitna pa rin tayo ng rumaragasang pandemya, hindi pa balik normal ang lahat. Hindi natin sigurado kung ano ang kalagayan ilang buwan mula ngayon. Kaya ang aking panukala, ipagpaliban muna ito ,” he said in a statement accompanied by a copy of the bill sent to the media. Earlier, neophyte lawmakers Davao Oriental Rep. Cheeno Miguel Almario and Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez filed House Bill 1367 and House Bill 937, respectively, to reschedule the village and SK elections to a later date.Justifying his stand, Hataman noted that more than 80 countries worldwide have decided to postpone their national and subnational elections due to the Covid-19.
“More than P1 billion was allocated for the purchase of items labeled as ‘COVID-19 supplies:’ face masks, alcohol, plastic acetates, and antigen tests for election officers who attended training,” Hataman said in the bill’s explanatory note.
