President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signs a new law that postpones the scheduled 2026 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections. The measure sets the next elections for the first Monday of November 2028.
The law also adjusts the length of terms for village-level officials and SK officials. Reports say it extends their terms from four years to five years, aligning the election cycle with the new schedule. Coverage notes that the change is implemented through Republic Act No. 12326.
While both outlets describe the same legal action and election date shift, they emphasize slightly different framing: one outlet highlights the move to November 2028, and the other focuses on how the law defines the officials’ five-year term.
