TAGBILARAN CITY -- The proposal to make the positions of barangay secretaries and treasurers permanent will be one of the priority topics in the coming annual assembly of the Bohol League of Barangay Secretaries (BLBS).
Bohol 1st District Rep. Rene Relampagos will discuss the “necessity of making the position of barangay secretaries and treasurers permanent” in the 4th Congress for Barangay Secretaries on September 2-3 at the Bohol Cultural Center here.
Relampagos will also discuss the roles of barangay secretaries and treasurers for Barangay Federal Stability, in view of President Rodrigo Duterte’s “thrust on socio-economic stability towards a federal system of governance”.
Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. will take charge of discussing the President’s thrust towards federalism.
In his memo to all barangay secretaries in Bohol, through the barangay captains, Governor Edgar Chatto said “pursuant to the administration’s call to transform Philippines into a Federal Republic, it is envisioned that the progress of the barangay depends upon the reciprocal performance of duties and obligations between the barangay officials and the residents”.
“While the barangay officials are duty-bound to enrich their people, the latter are obligated to enrich their barangays,” Chatto added as he highlighted the principle: “Enrich the People, Enrich the Barangays."
Chatto added that major reforms start at the barangay level in the process of achieving genuine national progress.
This process is necessary to strengthen the support to the vision of transforming Philippines into a Federal Republic.
Chatto cited House Bill 2172 filed during the 16th Congress in 2013 which introduced the idea to make the positions of barangay secretaries and treasurers permanent.
Aside from HB 2172 filed by then-Batangas Rep. Mark Llandro Mendoza on July 31, 2013, there is HB 5287 filed by Palawan Rep. Frederick Abueg on December 11, 2014.
