said the registration on August 4 and 5 would cover high school and college student who would be between 15 and 17 years old by October 29.The proclamation said that despite the August 4 and 5 registration dates, August 3 was declared a holiday because "majority of the Filipino youth who would register for the barangay and SK elections would need ample time to travel to their home province, city, or municipality where they reside."The Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) are directed to help supervise the implementation of the proclamation.
