Barangay Problems And Solutions With Data

Barangay problems and solutions with data

Incompetent Leaders. More often than not, Barangay officials are people who have no profession but are financially capable enough to BUY the votes of the several-hundred constituents. In the Philippines however, public office is deemed a Profession. So reconciling my point, most Barangay officials are wealthy persons who spend their money to become who they are. But merit-wise, they are usually not competent for lack of education and legal awareness.

Stubborn Constituents. Most Filipinos willingly sell their votes - the higher the amount for vote buying, the more chances of winning the post. And mind you, the heads of the clan would be the one to decide who will the clan vote for, who is that who gave the more bribe money.

Peace and Order. Brawls everywhere, drinking session in the streets, minors roaming at night, gossipers proliferating the corners of the streets. The classic Filipino community. These situations cannot be totally apprehended or addressed by the officials for after all, what is at stake is their future political career. Reprimand the drunkards and who will vote for you come the next electio? I hope this helps
