The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has ruled that the 10 former barangays of Makati City will be part of Taguig
The Taguig City government welcomed the Comelec decision to consider the 10 previously Makati-controlled barangays to be part of Taguig for purposes of the BSKE.
“The barangays situated in Parcel 3 and 4, PSU-2031, can now be considered part of Taguig City for purposes of the 2023 BSKE,” the Comelec said in the memorandum.Earlier, Comelec chairman George Garcia said voters in the affected barangays need not re-register for the upcoming elections. Meanwhile, the Comelec also approved the law department’s recommendation for the Election Records and Statistics Department to provide the Information Technology Department with an updated coding system for the barangays.“The Commission’s move to fully implement the Supreme Court’s final and executory decision in the territorial dispute is highly commendable and stands as a testament to its commitment to upholding justice and ensuring peaceful and orderly elections,” said Mayor Laarni Cayetano.
The mayor gave assurance they are committed to working diligently and in good faith with all the departments and agencies of government, the local government of Makati, the community leaders, and the residents of the affected areas for the welfare of the people. The Department of Education scheduled the opening of classes in all public and private elementary and high schools across the country for August 29, and the so-called EMBO schools will open as scheduled.
