The challenge in organizing the plebiscite alongside the October elections is the limited time, and the intricacies of the procurement process, says Comelec-BARMM director
COTABATO CITY, Philippines – The Commission on Elections said on Tuesday, August 22, that the possibility of holding a plebiscite for the approved eight towns within the Special Geographic Area of the Bangsamoro region in Cotabato province simultaneously with the October 30 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections is slim.
Ray Sumalipao, the director of Comelec in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao , said the main challenge in organizing the plebiscite alongside the elections is the limited time, further complicated by the intricacies of the procurement process. “It would be quite difficult given that we have only two months remaining, and considering the rigorous procedures involved in the country’s procurement law for the necessary forms, funds, and other required resources,” Sumalipao told Rappler.Last week, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority approved regional laws for the creation of eight SGA towns in Cotabato province, emerging from the barangays that chose to be part of BARMM in 2019.
