The Supreme Court has finally locked arms with the executive and the legislative departments in sowing the first seeds of reforms in ARMM.

By upholding the constitutionality of the ARMM polls deferment, the high court’s magistrates have humbly corrected themselves.

It did the right thing in appreciating the imperative need to postpone the elections and allow the chief executive to appoint reform-minded individuals.

After two branches of government — Malacanang and Congress — openly agreed to set forth sweeping changes to correct flawed and excessive governance, the Supreme Court has done its part by completing the troika of democratic reformers.
