A legislator from Mindanao called on newly-elected barangay officials to make their voices heard in the implementation of critical development projects to ensure they get to meet the priority needs of their respective communities.
Thus, their recommendations should be strongly considered in the implementation of government projects, he said. “Development projects recommended and initiated by barangay officials ensure that good governance is felt by the people at the grassroots level. The voices of our barangay officials should be heard as they play a key role in being catalysts of development in their respective areas of jurisdiction,” he added.
This strategy of involving barangays in planning and implementing development projects is among the most effective means to combat poverty at the grassroots level, especially in underserved and farflung communities beyond the immediate reach of the national government, Duterte said.
