OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN OF BARANGAY AYSON COUNCIL ON THE PROPOSED POSTPONEMENT OF BSKE 2026
Our Stand: We Are Not in Favor of Postponing the BSKE 2026
The Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay Ayson Council respectfully expresses its position against the proposed postponement of the 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE).
Throughout our term, we have remained committed to fulfilling our responsibilities and serving the youth of Barangay Ayson to the best of our ability. From the beginning, we entered public service with the understanding that our mandate would follow the term provided by law, and we prepared ourselves to serve within that period.
During the first postponement of the elections, we supported the extension because there were programs and projects that still needed to be completed. Through proper planning, responsible management of our resources, and the cooperation of our fellow youth, we were able to accomplish the programs and responsibilities entrusted to us.
At this point, we believe that allowing the scheduled elections to proceed is in the best interest of the youth and the community. An election provides an opportunity for young people to exercise their right to choose the leaders they believe can best represent their needs, ideas, and aspirations.
As our term comes to its conclusion, many members of the council are also preparing to pursue their respective professional and personal goals. We believe that leadership is best served when those entrusted with public responsibility are able to give their full time, energy, and commitment to the role.
Our position is not a rejection of public service. Rather, it is our recognition that leadership also means knowing when to allow the next generation of youth leaders to step forward, contribute new ideas, and continue the work of serving the community.
We are grateful for the trust given to us by the youth of Barangay Ayson. We will continue to fulfill our responsibilities until the end of our mandate and ensure that our remaining time in office is dedicated to meaningful and responsible service.
We believe that respecting the scheduled elections means respecting the voice and choice of the youth. Every generation deserves the opportunity to participate, to lead, and to help shape the future of their community.
For the best interest of the youth, democratic participation, and accountable leadership, we respectfully stand against the postponement of the 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections.
