TO be able to deliver basic services to the people efficiently, a lawmaker is pushing for the passage of a bill identifying certain basic services and privileges that barangays and their residents are entitled to.
The bill also declares it is the right of every barangay to have a regular supply of clean and potable drinking water. To attain this goal, every city and municipality, as the case may be, is hereby required to construct and/or maintain at least one deep well with a pumping device for drawing drinking water to supply the needs of every 1,000 residents for each barangay within its jurisdiction.
Every barangay is entitled to have at least one elementary school: Provided that there shall be at least one high school for every 5 kilometers from the barangay center. It shall also be the right of every barangay to have one health center and one barangay hall. “One glaring example of this is in the fight against drugs. It is the Barangay officials who have the list of actual or possible drug peddlers and users in the community,” the lawmaker from Bataan added.
