INTRODUCTION

A barangay, sometimes referred to as barrio, is a smallest administrative division in the

Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. Municipalities and cities
are composed of barangays, and they may be further subdivided into smaller areas called purok,
and sitio, which is a territorial enclave inside a barangay, especially in rural areas.

In Section 384. Role of Barangay, the barangay serves as the primary planning and
implementing unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the
community, and as a forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed,
crystallized and considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled. In each barangay, there
are Barangay Officials, a punong barangay, seven sangguniang barangay members, the
sangguniang kabataan chairman, a barangay secretary, and a barangay treasurer. The Punong
Barangay, as the chief executive of the barangay government, shall exercise such powers and
perform such duties and functions.

Each barangay has a comittee assigned to them and with the help of those in-charge, they are
