Tan also highlighted that with the 2022 presidential elections, there is a possibility of a new administration relieving BTA officials because they are merely appointed. Such things, he said, would not occur if those in the BARMM posts are elected and have the mandate of the people.
“The 2022 elections is forthcoming, and there is going to be a change of administration, what if the new administration would remove you from office because you do not have any mandate? You are appointed. How would you react?” Tan asked.“Dapat they submit themselves to the people in an election, that is going to be in 2022 because that is what the law says.
As of now, there are five bills seeking to extend the BTA’s term, but Tan believes that the BTA can actually accomplish the things they need to do with the remaining time, largely because it would still be around 18 months before the May 2022 elections. “The first regular election for the Bangsamoro Government under this Organic Law shall be held and synchronized with the 2022 national elections,” he stressed.
