CONNECTING
PLANS TO THE
BUDGET
By: ARD Gary R. Martel
 A. What is a BARANGAY
DEVELOPMENT PLAN?
A development plan for the barangay is a
desired end-state scenario of the well-being
of people and its environment to be
attained in the long-term (six or ten years)
and to be planned and implemented in
orderly sequence or priority by officials of
the barangay considering fund limitations.
It is a deliberate
attempt to change
the future status or
quality of life of
barangay residents,
by responding to
their economic,
social and physical
environment needs
within the limits of
available scarce
resources.
A development plan is composed of
the following:

· A vision statement or Practical Vision

·  Strategic Directions
· Barangay Development (Programs,
Projects and Activities)
Investment Program
· Priorities
  The timeline for each component of
the Barangay Development Plan are
as follows:
 
A. PRACTICAL VISION
STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS 6 to 10 years
 
B. Barangay Development
Investment Program 3 to 5 years
(Programs/Projects/
Activities)

C. Priorities 1 year

Actual planning is done in a two-day
workshop to be participated in by
members of the BARANGAY
DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (BDC), Purok
Presidents, representatives of private
organizations/ cooperatives and other
key informants like doctors, teachers,
retired professionals residing in the
barangay.
Membership in the BDC is expanded to
get a broad consensus in the decisions
to be integrated in the PLAN. This is the
spirit of participatory governance. 

The planning workshop can be done

anywhere between July 1-20 of each
current year.
Barangay planning has the
following major
characteristics:
Needs and requirements for public goods
and services are based on popular
demand, common good and general
welfare of barangay residents.
DEMAND-DRIVEN
O
TUMUTUGON SA

All basic information on the program,
activities and projects including source of
income and where the income is spent are
open to the public for scrutiny.

Finding solutions to barangay development issues
and problems needs a serious study that is
supported with a strong passion, firm dedication,
deep love and a steadfast perseverance to
accomplish a tangible output. This is planning not
only of the mind but also of the heart.

 THE EXECUTIVE-LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA APPROACH TO PLANNING
The ELA approach to planning is the merging of
the executive, legislative and community agenda
into the barangay development plan. It aims to
fuse the development agenda of both the local
chief executive and the local sanggunian into a
common plan that is responsive to the needs
and demands of their constituents. This concept
is best suited to our culture and is easily
attainable in an environment of cordial relation
among the duly elected officials of the barangay.
A. Organize the EtA team and set the objectives.
(ELA team is chaired by the Punong - Barangay with all kagawads as
members. The main objective is to integrate the ELA into the Barangay
Development Plan.)
STEP 1. Prepare a Work Plan for the ELA
Formulation Process
STEP 2. Prioritize Issues and Consult
with multi-stakeholders in the ELA
Planning Process
