The National Association of Village Councils (NAVCO) has begun preparations for the upcoming Village Council Elections, which will be held in the next few weeks. NAVCO, the umbrella organization for the over 190 village councils countrywide, is tasked with advocating for communities to get necessary resources and to represent communities at forums when they might not have the ability to send representation. The organization will be participating in upcoming meetings with the Elections and Boundaries Commission and Minister of Rural Transformation Florencio Marin Jr. Delroy Valero, President of NAVCO and the Chairman of Silk Grass Village, spoke about the work of the organization and the councils themselves.

According to the Elections and Boundaries Commission, each village will be selecting one chairperson and six councilors in the upcoming elections, which will take place in a span of seven weeks.
