The two registered residents of Barangay 76 in Caloocan do not include the seven village councilors and the chairman. How are they able to hold these positions if they are no longer residents of Barangay 76?
MANILA, Philippines – In a small corner on the third floor of Araneta Square Mall in Caloocan City lies an unlikely government office: a barangay.
How are they able to hold these positions even if they’re no longer residents of Barangay 76? PCIJ tried to get in touch with Comelec officials to explain how the officials continued to hold office in the barangay, but has not received a response as of writing.
