INTRODUCED BY REP. JOSE “BONG” J. TEVES, JR. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Barangay officials are elected by the sovereign people and act as the primary public 
service providers in our communities. They are in charge of the management and 
administration of the smallest unit of our society which is the barangay. They work hand-in-
hand with the local government units and the national government in order to enforce the 
policies laid down by the government and to ensure peace and order in the community. 
However, as elected government officials, they only receive monthly honoraria and not fixed 
monthly salaries and benefits similar to the regular elected government officials.  
Thus, it is high time for Congress to regularize our elected barangay officials and 
standardize their compensation together with existing benefits provided for by law. Therefore, 
this measure proposes that the Punong Barangay, Members of the Sangguniang Barangay, 
Sangguniang Kabataan Chairperson , Barangay Secretary, and the Barangay Treasurer in all 
the barangays in the Philippines be provided for with fixed compensation and benefits. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
