COA said this ran contrary to provisions found in the Local Government Code of 1991 and a Local Budget Circular from the Department of Budget and Management that prohibits double compensation.We recommended that the Management stop the practice of paying honoraria to the barangay GAD focal persons, drivers, and laborers, and SK Officials pursuant to RA 7160 and DBM LBC No. 63,” said COA.
Of this amount, approximately P16.2 million was allocated for barangay drivers and laborers while P4.8 million went to SK officials. GAD Focal Persons from the city’s 80 barangays also received a total of P4.4 million worth of honoraria. “Meanwhile, payment of allowances to SK Officials and its treasurers and secretaries are without legal basis since only the SK chairperson is entitled to compensation, allowances, emoluments, and other privileges if she or he is an ex-officio member of the Sangguniang Barangay in the City,” they added.
