A measure pending before the House Committee on Local Government seeks to highlight the importance of the barangay as the basic political unit.
Filed by Bataan 1st district Rep. Geraldine Roman, House Bill No.228 is the proposed Act to establish the Magna Carta for Barangays.
She said by the nature of their work, the safety and security of the barangay officials are always at risk. Complaints against those involved in drugs are more often than not lodged with them before it reach the police. It is these barangay officials who are the first in line when it comes to receiving reports of crimes that are being committed or have just been committed, Roman said.
The Roman bill seeks to define certain basic services and privileges that barangays and their residents are entitled to.
