MANILA (SDN) — It’s official!
The first regular election in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim (BARMM) will be on October 13, 2025.
That’s the first parliamentary election in the Philippines, after President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed on February 19 Republic Act No. 12123 with the title “An Act Resetting the First Regular Elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Amending for the Purpose Section 13, Article XVI of Republic Act. No. 11054, as Amended, Otherwise Known as the Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.”
SDN – SciTech and Digia News learned about this through a report by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ).
BARMM’s parliamentary polls was supposed to be at the same time with the midterm National and Local Elections (NLE) on My 12, 2025, but the removal of Sulu from the BARMM was cited as one among the reasons for the postponement.
According to the PCIJ per its sources, the President may appoint (meaning replaced) some of the 80 members of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA).
Those who already filed their Certificate of Candidacy (COC) do not need to refile for the October 13 regional parliamentary polls based on the law. EDD K. USMAN (♡)
