PROVIDING BARANGAY OFFICIALS, INCLUDING BARANGAY TANODS, 
MEMBERS OF THE LUPON NG TAGAPAMAYAPA, BARANGAY HEALTH 
WORKERS AND BARANGAY DAY CARE WORKERS A RETIREMENT BENEFIT
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Our barangay officials work in the frontlines of government service in the 
grassroots. They represent our local communities, dedicate their lives to their 
barangays, and provide an indispensable role in the delivery of basic services and 
dispensation of justice. However, these dedicated officials and workers who are 
behind the active operation of the affairs of our barangays are left with minimal 
benefits/honoraria.
As succinctly pointed out by the Local Government Code of 1991, as 
amended, in 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."
This bill seeks to provide retirement benefits to eligible barangay officials, 
including barangay tanods, members of the Lupon ng Tagapamayapa, barangay


health workers, and barangay day care workers. This bill is being proposed to 
reward the hard work of our barangay workers and their dedication to public service.
Thus, the early passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
RAMO^ONG RE VILLA, JR.
