00:06 Aside from the so-called election hotspot,
00:09 Komalek is also monitoring several barangays in the country
00:11 that have no candidates for the barangay and youth elections.
00:16 Tina Panginiban Perez was able to get a vote.
00:18 [Music]
00:22 Komalek herself said that the barangay SK elections are a hot battle.
00:27 But now, on October 30, more than 500 barangays in the country
00:31 have no candidates for the barangay chairperson, SK chairperson, and SK members.
00:38 Most of those barangays are in the Samoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM.
00:44 Most of the thousands of barangays in BARMM also have unopposed candidates or no opponents.
00:51 But even if there are no opponents, like in many places in Sulu and Tawi-Tawi,
00:56 elections are still needed.
00:57 First, so that there can be one vote.
00:59 Number one. Number two, how about the multi-level position?
01:02 What does it mean? How about the government?
01:05 Remember, you need to arrange them based on the ranking.
01:09 But if there are no candidates,
01:11 DILG and not Komalek are the ones with the jurisdiction.
01:15 According to Komalek, in the 2018 barangay SK elections,
01:19 DILG ordered local government executives
01:22 to appoint officials in places where there are no candidates.
01:26 It's just that all of them are currently sitting in the holdover capacity.
01:31 Their term is already over.
01:33 Two things can happen.
01:34 Until such time as they qualify, they will remain as incumbent.
01:37 Or DILG will exercise their jurisdiction
01:40 where they can appoint a caretaker
01:43 or directly appoint people to sit in places where there are no candidates.
01:49 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,
01:53 for Tutok, 24 hours.
