Commission on Elections Chairman George Garcia speaks to participants of the 2nd Bangsamoro Parliament Speakers Bureau training on Aug. 4 in Davao City. Participants were trained on the Bangsamoro Electoral Code. Gerardo Concepcion III, legislative committee secretary of the Bangsamoro Parliament, echoed concerns about an information gap ahead of election day. “This is the first time Bangsamoro voters will participate in a parliamentary election,” Concepcion said. Of those seats, 40 go to regional parliamentary political parties, 32 through single districts, and eight through reserved sectoral representation.
