The Supreme Court (SC) was asked on Monday, Oct. 17, to declare unconstitutional Republic Act No. 11935 that mandated the postponement of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) from Dec. 5, 2022 to Oct. 30, 2023.

In a petition filed by election lawyer Romulo B. Macalintal, the SC was told that the power to postpone elections is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commission on Elections (Comelec). (MB Video by Ali Vicoy)
