MANILA – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Thursday announced that the official results of the recently concluded Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) would be released next week.
According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia, they have yet to release the final numbers as they are still collating data from field offices nationwide.
“(We are still awaiting) the submission from the field. We are also prioritizing the salary of (the) electoral boards,” Garcia said in a Viber message.
