Many think the ๐‹๐จ๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐†๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐‚๐จ๐๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ (๐‘๐€ ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽ) only concerns mayors, governors, and councilors (sanggunian members) because it outlines their powers and duties. But this is far from the truth.

The Code was enacted to bring government closer to the people. It is not just a guide for officials, it is a citizensโ€™ charter for local governance, shaping how services are delivered, projects are prioritized, and public funds are used.

For instance:

By knowing the Code, citizens can monitor performance, demand transparency, and ensure that community needs guide local action.

๐‘ฐ๐’ ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’“๐’•: The Local Government Code empowers both the leaders and the people.

DILG 10 Regional Director Bruce A. Colao, CESO V, emphasized the importance of humility and continuous capacity building, noting that a refusal to learn limits growth and effectiveness. He highlighted that LGUs lacking adequate capacity remain vulnerable to crises.

It discussed that while Sec. 90 bars Local Chief Executives (LCEs) like mayors and governors from practicing their profession, no such ban exists for the Punong Barangay and Sangguniang Barangay members.

By their exclusion from the prohibition, the presumption is that they may practice their profession, subject to conditions:
1. It must not conflict with official duties;
2. They must not appear as counsel against the government or any LGU; and
3. Under Civil Service rules, they must secure prior written authority before engaging in private practice.

๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ: Since SK officials are also barangay officials, this ruling applies to them as well, absent any prohibition under current laws and regulations.

READ | PUBLIC ADVISORY

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) warns the public against a circulating post falsely claiming that residents may receive โ‚ฑ5,000 to โ‚ฑ8,000 in assistance by filling out a barangay form and contacting unverified mobile numbers.

This information is false and misleading. No such directive has been issued by the DILG. The mobile numbers listed in the post are not official and are not connected to any legitimate government program.

The Social Amelioration Program (SAP) is implemented solely by the DSWD through official, validated channels, with the DILG only assisting in local monitoring and no such program is currently active.

The public is advised to be vigilant. Do not provide personal information or sign documents based on social media posts that are unverified. Misinformation such as this creates confusion and opens opportunities for exploitation.

Those who deliberately spread fake information or misuse the name of the DILG for fraudulent purposes will be subject to legal action under the Cybercrime Prevention Act and other applicable laws.

For legitimate concerns, contact the DILG Public Assistance Center at (02) 8876-3454 local 6700.

Mag-ingat. Magsuri. Huwag magpaloko.
