LIMITATIONS OF BRGY.

TANODS/PBS

The barangay tanod brigade plays an important role in the

development and progress of the barangay.  It is one of
the implementing mechanisms of the Barangay Peace and
Order Committee (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 barangay tanod is a community brigade composed of

civilian volunteers duly appointed by the Punong Barangay
upon recommendation of the Barangay Peace and Order
Committee (BPOC).  While the Local Government Code
provides a maximum of twenty (20) tanods in each
barangay, it may create more as maybe necessary to
carry out the purposes of the barangay government in
accordance with the needs of public service, subject to the
budgetary limitations of the barangay.
