TANONG NG BAYAN | Kabilang ba ang mga barangay workers sa expanded maternity leave?

Opo!

Ayon sa Section 4 ng Republic Act No. 11210 o 105-Day Expanded Maternity Leave Law, ang lahat ng buntis na nasa pampublikong sektor, anumang employment status, ay may 105 araw na maternity leave na may buong sahod, normal man o caesarean ang panganganak. Saklaw nito ang mga empleyado ng NGAs, LGUs, GOCCs, at SUCs, kabilang ang barangay workers. Ang solo mothers ay may hanggang 120 araw.

Tinitiyak din ng batas ang job security ay hindi maaaring ibaba ang posisyon, bawasan ang sahod, o tanggalin sa serbisyo dahil sa maternity leave.

Suportado ito ng DILG. Sa pagdiriwang ng Araw ng mga Ina, patuloy nating isulong ang karapatan ng kababaihan laban sa diskriminasyon sa trabaho.

READ | Barangays Told: Update Development Plans, Put Anti-Poverty Programs First

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed all barangays nationwide to formulate or update their 2026 Barangay Development Plans (BDPs) and Barangay Development Investment Programs (BDIPs) before the end of the year, with a clear instruction to prioritize programs that directly reduce poverty and improve daily life in communities.

The directive supports the call of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to sustain poverty-reduction gains despite global economic pressures, including uncertainties arising from the ongoing Middle East conflict.

The BDP serves as a three-year multi-sectoral roadmap that identifies a barangay’s priorities, programs, projects, and activities. It is the main planning tool that helps local leaders translate community needs into concrete action.

Under DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2021-087, barangays are encouraged to integrate sectoral and thematic concerns into their plans, including livelihood generation, food security, social protection, health, education, disaster resilience, peace and order, and other grassroots anti-poverty interventions.

The Department also underscored the importance of participatory governance, urging barangay officials to consult residents, civil society groups, and key stakeholders during the planning process. Inclusive planning ensures that programs are grounded on real conditions, responsive to urgent needs, and supported by the people they are meant to serve.

Barangays were likewise reminded to align their BDPs with the Comprehensive Development Plans of their respective cities and municipalities, while exploring cooperation with neighboring barangays to maximize resources and widen development impact.

DILG records show that 5,540 barangays under the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) have already completed enhanced BDPs, helping strengthen local governance and improve the delivery of basic services, particularly in formerly conflict-affected and underserved communities.

The Department stressed that timely compliance is mandatory. Failure to prepare or update required plans may expose concerned officials to administrative liability under Section 60 of the Local Government Code of 1991.

To ensure accountability and full compliance, the DILG said progress will be tracked through the Barangay Information System.

READ | DILG to LGUs: Strengthen Ordinances, Reclaim Streets for Families

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) called on local government units (LGUs) to pass new ordinances and strengthen existing local rules in support of the government’s Safer Cities initiative, a nationwide push to make streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces safer for Filipino families.

The campaign carries out the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen peace and order, reduce crime, and ensure that people feel secure not only at home, but also on the roads, in markets, near schools, and in places where daily life happens.

The DILG urged provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays to review and reinforce ordinances covering public drinking, roaming shirtless in public areas, excessive noise, videoke operations beyond 10:00 p.m., and curfew measures for minors.

For LGUs where these rules already exist, the Department called for consistent enforcement and stronger police visibility, especially in busy streets, transport terminals, commercial districts, and other crowded areas where residents expect order and protection.

The Department emphasized that local chief executives are mandated under the law to implement measures that promote the general welfare, maintain peace and order, protect public safety, and preserve public convenience.

Recent implementation data from the Safer Cities initiative recorded 68,257 public safety interventions, reflecting active enforcement, guidance, and community correction across participating areas. Many incidents involved public drinking and smoking, roaming shirtless in public places, minors found outside during curfew hours, and unauthorized karaoke operations beyond allowed hours.

The initiative is currently being piloted across LGUs in the National Capital Region, with expansion set for major urban centers nationwide.

The DILG said safer communities are measured by whether parents feel at ease letting their children walk outside, workers can go home without fear, and neighborhoods can rest peacefully at night.
