EXPLANATORY NOTE
Republic Act 7883 otherwise known as “The Barangay Health Workers Benefits and Incentives Act of 1995” was
issued in recognition of the above role of BHWs as front liners in bridging health care to the grassroots, all the more
so because their services are done in the spirit of volunteerism.
The said volunteer health care workers are rendering primary health care services in their respective community.
Despite the heavy tasks they are undertaking and the constant increase in the cost of living, they remain true and
committed in the performance of their duties and functions.
For this purpose, Sections 168 and 169 of City Ordinance No. 02-13 needs to be amended to conform with the
increasing cost of commodities and basic needs, moreover, as a token for their tireless effort, commitment and
dedication, promotion, maintenance and advancement of their activities and services.
