INTRODUCED BY REP. PM VARGAS
AN ACT
HONORING AND GRANTING ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO EXEMPLARY
CITIZENS OF BARANGAY NORTH FAIRVIEW, DISTRICT V, QUEZON
CITY
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The barangay as one's immediate community plays a significant role in
one's personal growth and development as one creates ties to peers, the local
sports  team,  and  their  neighborhood  and  its  residents.  As  such,  it  is
important  that  the  barangay  is  a  safe  setting  where  correct  values  are
appreciated, and positive influences are reinforced.
In this era of digital technology, however, people are more susceptible to
various forms of influence through multimedia sources, making them more
exposed  to  external influences.  The  rise  of microcelebrities  in  the  form of
social media influencers has been widespread causing millions of followers
on the digital platform.
Albeit many influencers have had positive effects on followers, especially
in pushing for various social advocacies, studies have shown that exposure
and  consumption  of  social  media  are  highly  linked  with  tendencies  of
depression,  anxiety,  and  antisocial  personality  disorder,  to  name  a  few,
which can lead to impairments in vital areas of life.
This initiative  seeks to promote the beneficial effects of influencers at
the barangay level where people can relate to, engage with, and interact with
one  another  in  person  rather  than  online.  These  community  influencers
could   be  leaders  and   champions  in   public   service,   volunteer  or  civic
organizations  or  they  ,could  be  strong  advocates  for  education,  climate
change impact, reproductive health, and care for the elderly among others.
The  purpose  of  this  measure  is  to  honor  and  celebrate  excellent


residents of the Barangay naming them "Pambihirang Mamayan ng North
Fairview", who can influence others within the barangay and inspire more
leaders and champions in  the  community who may  serve as role models,
particularly for the younger generations.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is urgently sought.
