Comelec acting spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said they are looking at two scenarios on the holding of the special polls. "If the BSKE will push through in December, we will set it (special polls) on March 25, 2023. If a law was passed postponing the village and youth polls, we are looking into the possibility of setting it this year, perhaps late December 2022 or at the very least, January 2023," he said in a message to reporters. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed on third and final reading the measure to postpone this year's BSKE to December 2023. Meanwhile, the Senate has yet to come up with its decision on the fate of the Dec. 5 poll
