Las Piñas gears up for barangay, Sangguniang Kabataan elections

The Las Piñas City Commission on Elections spearheaded a series of community-centric events including a Unity Walk, Peace Covenant Signing, and Candidates' Forum, to set a collaborative tone ahead of this year's barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.

It aimed at fostering an atmosphere of fair play, camaraderie, and informed electoral participation.

The Unity Walk saw a confluence of various stakeholders including members from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), election candidates, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting, religious community leaders, and other distinguished guests.

Key figures such as Las Piñas Chief of Police P/Col. Jaime Santos, DILG Regional Director Mary Anne Planas, and Las Piñas COMELEC Election Officer, Atty. Jehan L. Marohombsar, graced the occasion with their presence.

The Peace Covenant Signing exhibited the collective commitment of the community toward a peaceful and orderly electoral process, while the Candidates' Forum provided a platform for aspiring barangay and SK leaders to articulate their vision and engage in constructive dialogue with the community.

As Las Piñas prepares for the 2023 barangay and SK elections, events like these are instrumental in promoting a culture of transparency, accountability, and civic engagement.

The collaborative efforts that resulted in the Unity Walk, Peace Covenant Signing, and Candidates' Forum, reflect the city's proactive stance in ensuring a peaceful and informed electoral process.
