The majority of the grassroots leaders we talked are for the postponement of ARMM Elections for valid reasons: peace and order condition, ensure that the peace process (incorporate GPH – MNLF and possible agreement between GPH and MILF) does not get derailed by partisan politics, synchronize elections will reduce expense loss of lives and properties, most of the ongoing rido in Maguindanao are post election related violence. Postponement of the ARMM elections gives PNOY enough space to solve the region’s problems. Among the systems that needed to be fixed are auditing, budgeting, and human resource concerns, among many. It will also give ample time to consensus building for agenda (reform agenda) such as peace and security, governance, delivery of basic services, environment etc. Laying the Foundation for a reform ARMM
