AN ACT
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, more often 
than not, its officials are expected to function beyond the normal working hours. 
However, even as they play a crucial role in government, they are not entitled to 
compensation accorded to regular government workers.
Thus, this bill proposes to provide elected barangay officials and appointed 
barangay 
personnel 
monthly 
salaries 
commensurate 
to 
their 
tasks 
and 
responsibilities, similar to those given to regular employees in government.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
Senator
