Dapat na ipagpaliban muna ng dalawang taon ang halalan sa barangay na nakatakdang idaos sa Oktubre 2016.
“Considering that there will be nationwide elections this coming May 2016, it would be prudent and advisable to reset the next barangay elections to October 2018,” mungkahi ni Pasay City Rep. Emi G. Calixto-Rubiano.
Inihain niya ang HB 6420 o “An Act resetting the date of Barangay Elections to October 2018, amending for the purpose Republic Act No. 9340.”
Sinabi ng mambabatas na gagastos nang malaki ang gobyerno sa pagdaraos ng halalang pambarangay.

“The expected billions of pesos that could be saved by postponing the barangay polls to October 2018 could be used for other priority government projects like construction of roads, bridges, school buildings, public hospitals and other worthy infrastructure and social programs,” aniya.
