Hataman Warns BARMM Election Delay Violates Constitution Deputy Minority Leader and Basilan Representative Mujiv Hataman expressed his strong objection to postponing the 2025 Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections, warning it would breach the constitutional mandate for synchronized elections. Hataman cited the 2011 Supreme Court decision in Kida vs. Senate of the Philippines, which underscores the requirement for synchronized national and local elections, with exceptions only for Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. “Gustuhin man nating ipagpaliban ang halalan sa BARMM, it is my opinion na hindi natin ito magagawa dahil labag ito sa mandato ng Konstitusyon na dapat ang mga halalan ay synchronized,” Hataman stated. He further explained the repercussions of delaying the elections: “Kung ipapagpaliban natin ang 2025 BARMM elections, at ayon sa panukalang pinag-uusapan natin sa Kongreso ngayon ay every three years na ang halalan, the succeeding elections would fall on May 2029. Hindi na synchronized sa national elections natin.” Hataman maintained that the BARMM parliamentary elections should be held alongside the 2025 midterm polls, giving the people of the Bangsamoro region the opportunity to elect their leaders. “My position remains: it is time for the people in the Bangsamoro region to choose their own leaders.” He acknowledged the unresolved issue of Sulu’s exclusion from BARMM but noted that both Commission on Elections Chairperson George Garcia and Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity Secretary Carlito Galvez view the Supreme Court ruling on the matter as non-final. “It’s just proper to go on with the 2025 BARMM election,” Hataman concluded.

As we close out 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on Aurora’s first full year under the strong mayor system. This year, Aurora was one of 46 municipalities where the Mayor was entrusted by the Province with additional tools to help move our communities forward, and I’ve approached this responsibility with a focus on serving you, the residents of Aurora. Outside of the budget process, I have used these powers sparingly and strategically, with two key actions that I believe reflect your priorities: 1. Restructuring Council Meetings: Recognizing the need for a more efficient and effective decision-making process, I used the strong mayor powers to restructure our council meetings. These changes have streamlined our discussions, allowing us to focus more on delivering results and less on procedural delays. 2. Vetoing the Proposed 42.6% Salary Increase for Council: When Council voted in favor of a 42.6% salary increase, I heard your voices loud and clear: this was unacceptable. I used my veto power to block this increase, ensuring that we remain accountable to the people we serve. In addition to these actions, we delivered two responsible, balanced budgets that provide the necessary services our residents expect—at the best price possible, moving our Town forward in a positive direction. Fiscal responsibility and efficiency have been at the core of every decision we’ve made this year. And that is reflected in Aurora continuing to be the 8th lowest tax rate in the entire Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) The strong mayor powers are a tool to enact meaningful change, and I am committed to using them responsibly and where necessary to uphold the values and expectations of our community. As we head into 2025, I remain focused on delivering good governance, fiscal responsibility, and a clear vision for Aurora’s future. Thank you for your continued engagement and support—together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant Aurora. #LeadershipThatGetsThingsDone https://mrakas.ca/reflecting-on-auroras-first-full-year-with-strong-mayor-powers/
