Senator Francis Tolentino presented and incorporated some legal opinions and resolutions amid interpellation with Senator Panfilo Lacson regarding Senate Bill (SB) No. 2214 on Tuesday.
On August 11, 2021, through a COMELEC Resolution No. 10713 promulgated by the Commission and Elections En Banc, it states that the allocation of elective positions for the BARMM parliamentary elections cannot yet be determined at this point.
The reasons were due to the unavailability of the a) Bangsamoro Electoral Code; b) apportionment of the BARMM into parliamentary districts; c) manner of election and reserve of electoral seats, and d) treatment of the 63 barangays in North Cotabato for that election.
