Cash Rewards for Barangay Officials

The local government unit here recently gave financial incentives to its three-termer barangay officials who were cited as awardees during the recently-concluded "Pagbiagan" Festival.

"This is an innovative program outside the Local Government Code and we hope to institutionalize it but we need complementation of funds," said barangay councilor Eddie Tiongson of Poblacion North here.

Tiongson was one of the guests during the press conference conducted by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) recently.

He was referring to the granting of financial incentives to three-termer barangay officials who were also cited during the "Pagbiagan" Festival.

The awarding was one of the highlights of the festival and one of the relevant activities of the local government unit in support of the 20th Celebration of the Local Government Code of 1991 this month.
