GROUP 1

The barangay is a “little government” with

an executive branch, legislature, and
judicial function. It is patterned after
most governments with executive (captain
and council) running things (health care,
water systems, etc.), legislature developing
new rules and monitoring old ones, and a
judicial system that seeks to resolve small,
localized conflicts without going to the
regional courts.
Most encountered problems in
Barangays
(in the Philippines)
1. Incompetent
Leaders
More often than not, Barangay officials are
people who have no profession but are financially
capable enough to BUY the votes of the several-
hundred constituents. In the Philippines
however, public office is deemed a Profession.
So reconciling a point, most Barangay officials
are wealthy persons who spend their money to
become who they are. But merit-wise, they are
usually not competent for lack of education and
legal awareness.
2. Stubborn
Constituents.
 Most Filipinos willingly sell their
votes the higher the amount for vote
buying, the more chances of
winning the post. And mind you,
the heads of the clan would be the
one to decide who will the clan vote
for, who is that who gave the more
bribe money.
3. Peace and
Order
Brawls everywhere,
drinking session in the
streets, minors roaming
at night, gossipers
proliferating the corners
of the streets.
The three most important benefits that
make the barangay valuable are:
1. Effective, on-the ground coordination
for emergencies or special activities.
2. Rudimentary health and legal care for
residents at no cost or low cost.
3. Oversight of basic services such as
water delivery.
