Third Regular Session 
House Bill No. _______ 
INTRODUCED BY HON. FERNANDO T. CABREDO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to confer Civil Service Second Level / Professional Eligibility to Liga ng 
mga Barangay Presidents in the City, Municipal, Provincial and Regional levels. 
Presently, Rule IV Section 8 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 
No. 10156 specifically states that Liga ng mga Barangay Presidents  in the City, Municipal, and 
Provincial levels are NOT entitled to the grant of said eligibility. 
Sadly, the said IRR does not seem to take cognisance of the fact that they are the primary 
responders and closest to ground zero during calamities and disasters.  They also maintain peace 
and order and ensure the safety, comfort and convenience of the residents of the Barangay. 
Presently, they also play a critical role in the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus. 
The Liga ng mga Barangay ng Pilipinas is an enormous organization, comprising of all the 
forty-two thousand (42,000) barangays in the country.  The Liga serves as a venue for the barangays 
that determine the representation of the Liga ng mga Sanggunian whether in the provincial, city, or 
municipal level.  It is also at the Liga ng mga Barangay where issues affecting barangay 
administration are articulated, ventilated, and crystalized and where solutions to various problems 
are worked out. 
The grant of civil service eligibility to the Liga ng mga Barangay Presidents will not only 
ensure their security of tenure during all those years of public service but will also recognize the 
vital role they play in local government administration. 
Hopefully, they will also be entitled to the civil service eligibility similar to those granted to 
members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Sangguniang Panlungsod and Sangguniang Panlalawigan, as 
provided for by Republic Act No. 10156. 
. 
In view thereof, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
