GRANTING HAZARD PAY TO ALL DULY-APPOINTED BARANGAY TANOD

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Barangay Tanod Brigade plays an important role in the development and 
progress of the barangay. Their primary task is to ensure that peace and order 
prevails in the barangay. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were 
at the forefront in securing the safety of their community members and ensuring 
that their daily needs are provided to them.
Barangay Tanod Brigades are community workers that need protection. This 
proposed measure acknowledges their significant contribution in maintaining peace 
and order in their locality by providing them with incentives while they continue to 
carry out official tasks that require them to face the various perils and dangers.
To improve their financial status, this proposed bill seeks to grant hazard pay 
to all members of the Barangay Tanod Brigade during their incumbency as such. As 
a frontliner, they should receive adequate support and treatment from the 
government. There is no doubt that they deserve to be given such incentive.


In this light, the immediate passage of this bill is highiy recommended.
