STANDARDIZING THE SALARIES AND BENEFITS OF BARANGAY 
OFFICIALS, AMENDING SECTION 393(N) OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7160, 
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 384, Chapter 1, Title 1, Book III of Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise 
known as the Local Government Code of 1991, states that the barangay, as the basic 
political unit, "serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of government 
policies, plans, programs, projects and activities in the community, and as a forum 
wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and 
considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled."
Given that barangays are in the front lines of government service, often, its 
officials are expected to function beyond the normal working hours and to perform 
extensive range of crucial roles, responsibilities, and duties in and for the government. 
Despite all these, the same are not entitled to compensation accorded to regular 
government workers.
Hindipo natin matatawaran ang naging baiiagi ng ating mga barangay officials 
sa mga programa ng gobyerno para sa ating mga kanayunan. Kaya po dapat iang 
natin ayusin ang mga iine-up at karampatang suweido ng ating mga barangay official 
upang iaio po nating maisaayos ang kaniiang pagiHingkod sa ating mga kababayan.


Thus, this bill proposes to provide elected barangay officials and appointed 
barangay personnel monthly salaries commensurate to their tasks, responsibilities, 
and duties similar to those given to regular employees in government.
In view of this, early passage of this bill is sought.
