1. How long have you been in office as a barangay chairman?

- My name is Nestor S. San Pedro; I’ve started on July 2, 2018 serving in this
barangay.

2. What is your political principle?

- My principle is Malinis, Malaya, at Aktibong Pamamahala sa Barangay
Pulong Yantok.

3. What are the difficulties of being a public servant?

- Community growth. Working toward growing and expanding
communities is important for a variety of reasons. Organizing and planning
within communities creates opportunities for employment and boosting the
economy. Community growth incorporates the community’s goals for the
society, economy, culture and environment.
- Strategic Planning. Provides a roadmap for what steps the community
needs to take and when they need to take them to develop the
community. Responsible planning creates a systemic process that
anticipates and plans for the future while managing time constraints and
the budget.
- The Budget. The budget links to a broad view of the community’s goals
and focuses on getting the best outcome-based value. Well-managed
budgets provide government employees with the satisfaction that they’re
contributing directly to the community’s overall health and well-being.
Budget planning keeps officials up at night more often than it should
because of the challenge of balancing short and long term perspectives
and creating openness and transparency to the public on how the council
is working toward reaching its goals.
- Increasing Citizen Engagement. Was another concern for public officials,
though it ranked very close to the other issues. Public input is an important
part of the democratic decision-making process and it often influences
public decisions that impact the community’s future. The public provides
new ideas and exchange of information that builds mutual responsibility
and accountability for the board and the public.

4. What are your long term plans for your barangay? Why?
- Infrastructure is not just a matter of roads, schools and power grids. It is
equally a question of strengthening democratic governance and the rule
of law. Without accountability, not only of the government to its
 people but of the people to each other, there is no hope for a viable
democratic state.

of each?

fire.

15. As a barangay official, what do you consider as your most challenging

responsibility? Why?
- Managing Budgetary Demands. The need to prepare a Barangay
Development Plan (BDP) is in accordance with the budgeting
principle that “local government budgets shall operationalize the
approved local development plans” as mandated. Without the
priority programs and projects embodied in the plan, there is no basis
for the programming of funds and therefore no basis for budgeting.

16. Do you have a platform in promoting the cleanliness and orderliness of the
environment? What are those plans and projects?
- One of the ways to address this problem is to organize clean up drives
in the community. These clean up drives should be done regularly
and also people need to be encouraged to participate. However
there are times that barangays seldom organize clean up drives and
there are also times that people aren't aware or sure if there are
clean up drives that are implemented in their area that's why they
can't participate. In order to see a positive change in the
environment, we want to promote the importance of clean up drive
and call the attention of the constituents to strictly and regularly
implement this, and also to encourage constituents to actively
participate in those kind of programs and to make cleaning their
 environment a habit without waiting for someone to tell them to do
so.
- Our projects are Clean and Green Brigade, Tree planting and Weekly
Palinis.

17. How would you communicate with the residents in dealing with pollution
and keeping your barangay clean?

biodegradable, biodegradable and recyclable. Also we have
material recovery facility located at Purok 6, Pulong Yantok Angat,
Bulacan.

19. Have there any projects conducted in the past that promotes
environmental conservation?
- Yes, the Material Recovery Plan.

20. Do the barangay have a 24/7 security patrols? If yes, how does the
schedule of each and their usual functions?
- The barangay tanods brigade plays an important role in the
development and progress of the barangay. It is one of
implementing mechanisms of the Barangay Peace and Order
(BPOC), which has the primary task of ensuring that peace and order
prevail in the barangay. Peace and order in local communities
translates to a sense of a shared feeling of security among the
citizens. People who have this sense of security are more likely to
participate in community activities that aim to improve the livelihood
and well-being of all. In this sense, the maintenance of peace and
order is part of the foundation for genuine, community-based
development. The scheduling of 24/7 security is from 9:00PM to
4:00AM.
