00:16 This is the story of Louisa Erispe.
00:18 One year before the 2025 national and local elections, the country's preparations were already in full swing.
00:28 But in the Bansamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao, not only are midterm elections being held,
00:35 there is another vote that is being prepared.
00:37 This is the first parliamentary election or the vote of the local representative and the regional minister.
00:45 In fact, the local governments in Barma have already joined forces to unite in the upcoming elections.
00:51 The former opponents showed their strength by holding hands and the former four became one party.
00:59 Are you sure that the coalition will run peacefully? That is what we are looking for in our beloved president.
01:08 In the BGC, we want a participatory governance.
01:12 All actions and policies should start from the bottom. Second, transparency and accountability.
01:21 We want the Barma government to be inclusive.
01:23 The former opponents are now allies. The former opponents are now friends.
01:30 They are now allies in the coalition.
01:32 This means that we need to change these leaders and we want the people to feel it.
01:39 The local government of Jolo, Sulu is now an ally.
01:42 That is why they united and formed the Bansamoro Grand Coalition not only because of their political strength.
01:48 They only want to start their own government, the region.
01:52 They also want to prove that the elections will not be chaotic in the next year.
01:57 They also invited ACT-CIS Party List Representative Erwin Tulfo to prove that they want peace in the region.
02:05 The people united and wanted peace.
02:09 That is why I am also eager to get a chief minister.
02:16 We are not thinking about ourselves anymore.
02:19 If not, the generations and generations to come, especially the education.
02:26 Despite the unity of the local governments here in Barma for the parliamentary elections in 2025,
02:34 there are still some who want to ask for an extension for the transition.
02:39 But the hearts of our Moro brothers say that it is time for them to vote for a leader in their region.
02:47 We are not afraid to vote for you.
02:50 We need to know that they will join us.
02:53 We will vote.
02:55 We only ask for more development in the Barma region.
03:01 Despite the ongoing issues, the current chief minister said that they are ready to continue voting.
03:08 The Commission on Elections also said that because of the law, the elections will continue.
03:14 For now, not only the BGC Party submitted an application, but also some other parties are looking to fight in the elections.
03:23 Many are submitting but why do we need to have voter's information first?
03:30 The political parties that we are monitoring so far, the ones who can compete in the BGC,
03:36 we will also invite some groups in the BGC.
03:40 We are really prepared for the BGC elections.
03:44 We are waiting for two ballots in the BGC.
03:46 The BGC parliamentary elections will continue.
03:50 The parliamentary elections in Barma were held on May 12, 2025, along with the midterm elections.
03:57 The Commission on Elections said that next month, they will start conducting voter education in Barma for the upcoming elections.
