Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano urged national and local government to come together and talk about how barangays can be allotted more resources in order to better fulfill their multiple responsibilities.
Cayetano said that after the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections, there was need to determine how to add resources to groups who have wider areas of responsibility.
He said barangays were often given the least amount of funding among other government units despite numerous grassroots problems they regularly needed to address.
“Executive [head] kayo dahil barangay captain, legislative [official] dahil head ng Sangguniang Barangay, and judiciary din dahil [pinuno ng] barangay justice system. Pero pagdating sa pera, kayo ang pinakamaliit,” he said.
Cayetano told barangay officials, especially those who are in farther areas of the country, to periodically visit the Senate and the House of Representatives to make their presence felt.
“Sana po twice or thrice a year, o kung hindi man yung buong grupo but quarterly may presence kayo,” he advised them. He vowed that he will also visit the local officials.
