REP. CALALANG TO DILG: LEVEL-UP OUR BARANGAYS
EVERY BARANGAY SHOULD HAVE A 24/7 WEBSITE
Rep. Calalang eyes P2 billion in 2019 for Performance Challenge Fund of DILG
Our country has 82 provinces, 145 cities, 1,478 municipalities, and 41,902 barangays, according to the count of the Department of Budget and Management.
The DILG has a program called Seal of Good Local Governance. In the 2017 yearend report of the DILG, this Seal of Good Local Governance was awarded to 29 provinces, 61 cities, and 359 municipalities. The DILG still has a long way to go to cover more LGUs in the SGLG program.

I urge the DILG to design and implement a SGLG program for the barangays so that the barangays will be made capable of managing their limited budget but still delivery quality services.
Kasali dapat ang mga barangay sa Performance Challenge Fund. Unahin ang mga pinakamalalaking barangay.
https://goo.gl/QNPib2 Ayon, sa Philippine Statistics Authority, 15 ang mga barangay na may populasyon na 100,000 pataas. Sila dapat ang role models para sa ibang barangay. Simulan sa kanila at isunod ang mga barangay na 50,000 hanggang 99,999 ang populasyon.
For 2018, the Performance Challenge Fund has a budget of P1 billion. In the 2019 budget, I will push for this budget to be increased to P2 billion, so that the largest barangays can be included.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
We are already in the Year 2018, well into the 21st Century, but thousands of our barangays are still in the 20th Century in terms of technology. In Information Technology, many barangays are far behind.
The goal must be to bring each barangay online, with a 24/7 functioning website through which residents can transact and be informed of and can participate in their barangay’s decisions, programs, and projects.
Makikita dapat ng mga residente sa website ng kanilang barangay ang mga detalye ng mga budget, Internal Revenue Allotment, programa, proyekto, at iba pang mga dokumento ng barangay. Para mangyari iyan, kailangan maturuan ang barangay officials, personnel, at mga residente kung paano nila mapapatakbo nang maayos ang kanilang barangay. (END)
