EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 393 of the Local Government Code mandates that barangay officials,

emoluments, as may be authorized by law or ordinance.

As such, this bill proposes the granting of One Thousand Five Hundred Pesos

This is a recognition of the vital contribution of barangay tanods in assisting
the Philippine National Police in crime prevention in their barangays by forwarding
any and all information on suspicious persons and activities in their respective
barangays.

With this monthly allowance, the tanods will be more vigilant and enthusiastic
in their duties to aid in crime prevention. They can be used a sources of intelligence
for the Philippine National Police.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly
requested
