EXPLANATORY NOTE 
More than us, as representatives of our constituents, barangay officials have a 
closer role and government service to the people. They are the frontline services, 
their time, energy and resources are being utilized to address and or resolve an array 
of community-level issues and concerns. Especially at a time such as the pandemic, 
their roles are now made heavier as they are the ones to distribute food packages, 
monetary assistance and are to monitor their constituents constantly.  
It is mandated by the 1987 Constitution to promote social justice that includes 
the commitment to create economic opportunities based on freedom of initiative and 
self-reliance under Section 2 of Article XIII. It is high time that we show barangay 
officials that they are appreciated and are valued especially during the pandemic, 
without their collaborative efforts, it would have been made more difficult for us to 
perform our functions that can be easily felt by our constituents.  
This Act is rooted on the fact that the national government acknowledges that 
barangay officials– having to perform their duty 24/7 in order to perform their duties 
and provide the highest form of service for the people, and that at a time when 
collaborative efforts between the national and local government is of importance.

Through this act, a financial assistance that is equivalent to three (3) months 
of their basic salary and allowances, for as long as they have already served (3) terms 
are simple gestures on the part of the government for having been significant agents 
to affect national development and health for all.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
