00:00The Commission on Elections suspends the filing of certificates of candidacy for the March 2026 parliamentary elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
00:10This over the failure of the region's interim legislature to pass a parliamentary districting law.
00:16The Comalect Director for Education and Information says the filing period, which had been scheduled for January 5 to 9, 2026,
00:23will be deferred until the Bangsamoro Transition Authority enacts the required districting measure.
00:27The Supreme Court had earlier directed the BTA to finalize parliamentary districts by October 30, a deadline that was missed.
00:35Under Comalect Unbanked Resolution No. 11183, the new COC filing schedule will be announced once the BARM districting law is in place.
