ANGARA BATS FOR FIXED SALARIES, BENEFITS FOR BRGY EXECS
Barangay officials and employees are the nation’s frontline workers and yet what they are receiving is not commensurate to the roles that they play.
Senator Sonny Angara said the barangays should be given more attention by the national government as the country’s basic political unit and as the base of the economy.
“Tuwing may problema, ang barangay ang unang tinatakbuhan ng tao para humingi ng tulong. Sila ang unang rumeresponde sa mga krisis pero sila ang huli lagi pagdating sa mga benepisyo,” Angara said.
