Voters told to file case in high court

THE Commission on Elections advised groups who want to pursue the village and Sangguniang Barangay elections on October this year to bring the matter to the Supreme Court, as the poll body is just waiting for the Congress to formally approve the postponement of the said elections.

Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista said the poll body has already canceled the printing of all election ballots for the barangay and SK elections because of the strong support of many lawmakers and  President Rodrigo Duterte to postpone the elections and hold it next year.

Both Houses of Congress passed on final reading their respective versions of the bill postponing the October 31st elections to October 2017 last September 13
