HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
Quezon City  
20TH CONGRESS  
First Regular Session 
House Bill No. 1411 
Introduced by: REP. JOEL R. CHUA 
Explanatory Note 
The attached Bill seeks to grant barangay officials a lump sum end-of-term pay. 
This Representation proposed a similar measure during the 19th Congress but, due to 
lack of material time, the Bill remained in the House Committee level.  
This Bill is the same as what was submitted during the 19th Congress. As 
such, my explanation stated in the original is herein reiterated: 
The Local Government Code of 1991 created Barangays to be the nation’s basic 
political unit. The barangay serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of 
government policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the community. It 
also serves as a forum where the collective views of the people may be expressed, 
crystallize, and considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled (Section 38, 
Republic Act No. 7160). 
Barangay officials are tasked to be the first responders in almost any emergency 
situation. As a consequence, they are constantly exposed to danger and harm. This 
was most evident at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic. While everyone was 
required to stay home, Barangay Officials were at the frontline of delivering services 
aiding to their constituents. They ensured and continue to ensure that the government 
is present in our neighborhoods.  
Through this bill, barangay officials including barangay tanods, members of 
the lupon ng tagapamayapa, barangay health workers, and barangay day care 
workers shall receive a lump sum end-of-term pay.  
Considering the foregoing, swift passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
