Hello! In view of the postponement of the SK and Barangay Elections, I've read that the term of office of these elected officials are extended until such time that elections are held again. I'd like to ask if the term extension also applies to SK Federation Officers/ Barangay Federation Officers who are serving as ex-officio members of the Sanggunian in the Municipal, City and Provincial Level. Will their term of office as ex-officio members expire by 2019? Or will they retain the same positions and receive the corresponding emoluments until December 2022?
