POSISYON LABAN SA PANUKALANG IPAGPALIBAN ANG 2026 BARANGAY AT SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN ELECTIONS

1. ANG POSTPONEMENT AY DE FACTO EXTENSION NG PANUNUNGKULAN LALO NA NG MGA HINDI EPEKTIBONG OPISYAL:
➡️ Anuman ang layunin ng panukala, ang magiging epekto nito ay ang pagpapalawig ng termino ng mga kasalukuyang Barangay at SK officials nang walang panibagong mandato mula sa taumbayan. Sa isang demokrasya, ang pananatili sa katungkulan ay dapat nakabatay sa pasya ng mga botante, hindi sa pagpapaliban ng halalan.

2. DINI-DISENFRANCHISE ANG KABATAAN
➡️ Natatangi ang Sangguniang Kabataan dahil may age qualification ang pagboto at pagtakbo. Kapag naipagpaliban ang halalan, maraming kabataan ang mawawalan ng kanilang tanging pagkakataong bumoto o tumakbo dahil lampas na sila sa itinakdang edad sa susunod na eleksyon. Hindi ito simpleng delay—ito ay pagkakait ng demokratikong karapatan ng isang buong henerasyon ng kabataan.

3. PINIPIGILAN ANG PAG-USBONG NG BAGONG HENERASYON NG MGA LIDER
➡️ Habang napapahaba ang panunungkulan ng mga kasalukuyang opisyal, libu-libong kabataang naghanda nang tumakbo sa 2026 ang mawawalan ng pagkakataong magsilbi. Ang postponement ay humahadlang sa natural na pag-usbong ng mga bagong lider at sa demokratikong pagpapalit ng pamumuno.

4. HINDI DAPAT MAGING UNANG SAKRIPISYO ANG BSKE SA TUWING MAY KRISIS O PROBLEMA ANG BANSA
➡️ Hindi dapat maging awtomatikong tugon ang pagpapaliban ng Barangay at Sangguniang Kabataan Elections sa tuwing may pambansang emergency, kakulangan sa pondo, o administratibong hamon. Ang mga krisis ay dapat lutasin sa pamamagitan ng mas mahusay na pagpaplano at sapat na suporta sa COMELEC—hindi sa pagsasakripisyo ng regular na halalan. Kapag naging normal ang pagpapaliban ng BSKE sa bawat hamon, unti-unting nawawala ang katiyakan ng regular at napapanahong demokratikong proseso.

Ang demokrasya ay hindi dapat ipinagpapaliban sa tuwing nagiging mahirap itong isagawa. Sa halip, dapat itong higit pang pinagtitibay sa panahon ng krisis.
