By Glazyl Y. MasculinoBACOLOD City – “It’s God’s will.”This was the reaction of Barangay 21 Kagawad Raymund Jude Garcia, who won in this year’s Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), through the drawing of lots held at the Liga ng mga Barangay building yesterday. Garcia turned emotional as he spoke to the media following his proclamation by the Board of Canvassers (BOC) as the seventh kagawad of Barangay 21. He said that it was his second time to experience a tiebreaker situation after the 2007 barangay election where he also ranked seventh. Based on the data of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), 44 SK Kagawad and six Barangay Kagawad in 19 barangays were affected of the tiebreaking. “Indi puwede na ma agree lang kamo or may ma concede or mapaiway kay dapat ma elect gid ta,” she added.
