Introduced by Senator Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Our Barangay Officials and Workers are the front liners in the delivery of 
basic and other public services to our countrymen. As succinctly embodied and 
recognized by the Local Government Code of 1991, as amended, particularly 
Section 384 thereof, "the barangay 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." Yet, the officials and workers who are behind the 
active operation of the affairs of our barangays are left with minimal benefits 
which are found to be ironic given the endless recognition by our government 
of their indispensable role in the delivery of basic services and in nation building. 
This bill seeks to provide a retirement benefit to qualified Punong 
Barangay, Member of the Sangguniang Barangay, Bmangay Treasurer and 
Secretary, Barangay Tanod, Member of the Lupon ng TagapOmayapa, 
Barangay Health Worker and Barangay Day Care Worker. Their dedication and 
contribution to public service for a certain period ot time without monthly 
salaries but with only honoraria, allowances or other emoluments deserves more 
than mere recognition. 
Thus, the early passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
