More anti-road obstruction officers to be deputized

BARANGAY officials were asked to submit at the Liga ng mga Barangay office their list of prospective anti-road obstruction (ARO) officers to be deputized in preparation for a scheduled mandatory training and seminar for deputized officials.

This was among the issues discussed during their monthly meeting held August 3 headed by re-elected Association of Barangay Council- Baguio City chapter president Michael Lawana.

Also discussed was the accommodation of Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)-Baguio OIC Antonio Jaminola as resource person to give information, updates and clarification on issues and concerns regarding the assessments and payments made by all candidates in the recent 2018 barangay and SK elections to the BIR.

Consensus of the group on the remaining fund from the barangay mutual aid assistance program (BMAAP) collected from memberbarangays on whether or not the amount will remain with the Liga and used for the purpose or be distributed proportionately to the member-barangays.

A consensus of the body regarding the identification cards of barangay officials for 2018 to 2020 as to design and amount to be collected was also tackled during the meeting.

The group also discussed the various activities for this year’s Barangay Day Celebration including palarong pambarangay, craft and food fair, street dancing parade, photo contest and the physical preparations needed for the annual event, among other topics.
