The July 29 plebiscite will determine the fate of the proposal to rename and significantly trim down the number of Bacoor City's barangays.

CAVITE, Philippines – Authorities enforced a gun ban in Bacoor City on Wednesday, June 28, a month before a plebiscite on the proposal to merge and reduce the number of more than 40 of the city’s barangays.

The July 29 plebiscite, contained in Comelec Resolution No. 10917, is based on Bacoor City Ordinance No. 275-2023, which seeks to merge the city’s barangays. During the plebiscite period, prohibited acts include bearing, carrying, or transporting firearms or other deadly weapons; organizing or maintaining strike forces; suspending local elective officials; and transferring or detailing officers and employees in the civil service.
