Introduction
The barangay is the basic unit of government in the Philippines.
Unknown to many, it is where much of actual governance takes place, and
where the government and the citizens meet face to face. More than a
hundred roles have been assigned to barangays by the Local Government
Code of 1991 and various special laws ranging from the delivery of basic
services to women and children protection under RA 9262. It is no wonder
that barangays are able to perform all of these obligations.
BODY
As the hope of the future, we, youths need to know what are the
things that happens to our society. We need to cooperate in the projects
that our barangay provided us. We have chosenBarangay Sta. Elena for a
reason that it has uniqueness in a way that nature is preserved in the
middle of the modernization. Barangay Council Jamie Aguirre represented
the Officials and gave us time to interview him. The project they created
was called "Patubig Para Sa Lahat" Project which is a very great help for
us and to the other people here in our barangay. This project started 5
months ago by the help of our other Councilors, SK chairman and the
Barangay Captain of Sta. Elena. The Councilor that we interviewed also
said that the project that he wanted to implement in this barangay is
building a new barangay hall for the people who needs medical check up
and for them to be comfortable with the new barangay hall.
In addition to this, he also added that serving his community is both
passion and sacrifice. The salary he received for being a barangay official
isn’t that enough to make a living. But still, he wants to help his citizen to
cope up with every challenge the barangay needs to face. He still wants to
serve his people not thinking of what are the rewards for this but with the
vision that we will all rise as one for our future generation.
CONCLUSION
It is a declared constitutional precept that governmental authority
emanates from the sovereign people. Barangay officials, and government
officials in general, should not be managing our expectations, and telling us
what we can, and cannot do, what we can, and cannot say, and what we
can, and cannot see. They should not be making the decisions that we are
well and capable of doing on our own, particularly at the barangay level.
They should be implementing the decisions that we make, convened as we
are in our respective Barangay Assemblies.
Barangay officials should give their constituents the benefit of the
doubt, and trust that they can handle large numbers, such as the specifics
of barangay finances, and constituents should not hastily paint every
barangay official as venal and corrupt, even if this is the common
perception.
We will have more citizens satisfied of the government, as barangay
is the face of government at the community level. We will have healthier,
not deteriorating, ecosystems, as people are expected to have that sense
of ownership over the common goods such as our oceans, forests and
open spaces and readily report violations of our laws to authorities and
culturally “isolate” the violators for their misdeeds.
