CLAIM: The Barangay, Sangguniang Kabataan elections will no longer proceed as scheduled in December 2025.
RATING: FALSE
TikTok videos have falsely claimed that the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections (BSKE) scheduled for December 2025 have been cancelled.
One of the videos featured Sen. Imee Marcos during a briefing in Davao de Oro on March 8, 2025, where she appeared to assure village leaders in attendance that holding the BSKE would no longer be feasible due to scheduling and logistical constraints.
Senate Bill 2816, sponsored by Marcos, proposes to extend the term of Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan officials to four years and reschedule the elections to Oct. 20, 2027.
The bill was approved on third and final reading in the Senate on Jan. 14, 2025, but has yet to be signed into law, which the senator herself acknowledges.
