SK, brgy polls delay backed
THE Liga ng mga Barangay in Cebu supports the proposal to postpone the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) and barangay election from 2013 to 2014.
In a press conference yesterday, Provincial Board (PB) Member Rimobapil Holganza, league president, announced their support to the plan of Rep. Rachel “Cutie” del Mar of Cebu City’s north district to postpone the synchronized SK and barangay elections to 2014.
Holganza said they are reiterating the stand of their regional head, Cebu City Association of Barangay Council (ABC) President Michael Ralota and they wanted to show “solidarity” with Cebu City on the issue.
He will also appeal and encourage the different ABCs in 51 towns and cities in the province to initiate a resolution to support the bill.
