SOUTHERN LEYTE – The Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections (BSKE) were held on October 30, 2023 to select a fresh set of leaders in the barangay. This was the first barangay and youth council election in five years after the Duterte and Marcos administrations separately approved the postponement of the BSK elections that were originally scheduled for 2020 and 2022, respectively.
Southern Leyteños were keeping a watchful eye on election day, as their hopes were all focused for an honest and open electoral process that genuinely reflects the will of the people.
Generally, the election was conducted peacefully. However, in some barangays, alleged vote buying were attempted. Some of the strategies reportedly done were the giving of food and cash incentives, which amounted to between 100 to 5,000 pesos in some barangays. Others claimed of brownouts while the ballots were being counted.
Nevertheless, one winning councilor in a barangay in Maasin proudly said that no matter how their opposing candidates tried to get votes by giving away food and money, their team still won by a landslide; further saying that they promised to heartily serve the people with honesty.
All the winning candidates have been proclaimed. The following are the winners:
