00:00It is by all means sensible and pragmatic.
00:03First, lengthening the terms of service of grassroots leadership allows for officials
00:08more time to complete their programs and projects and make a case for re-election.
00:13Second, it is economical and defrays the cost of unnecessary spending during the campaign period.
00:19Our Mela Rasmoras has the details on the proposal to double the terms of barangay officials from three to six years.
00:27From the current three years, the term of office of barangay and sangguniang kabataan officials in the country
00:35could be doubled to six years.
00:37This if House Bill No. 10747 filed by the leaders of the House of Representatives
00:43headed by House Speaker Martin Romualdez is enacted.
00:46During the National Congress 2024 of the Liga ng Mga Barangay sa Pilipinas in Pase City earlier today,
00:54Speaker Romualdez announced this proposal in front of the thousands of participating barangay chairman
00:59from different parts of the country.
01:02Kami po sa House of Representatives, minabuti namin ay file yung House Bill No. 10747,
01:10an act setting the term of office of barangay and sangguniang kabataan officials to six years.
01:20Six years. Okay yan sayo?
01:24Kaya na nga pumunta ako dito kasi kaksama ko ang mga kasama natin sa Kongreso.
01:29The House Speaker explained, barangay officials play a crucial role in society
01:34and they are confident that if the term extension is fully enacted into law,
01:38it will greatly contribute to the further development of our communities across the country.
01:43Apart from the term extension proposal, the House leadership is also pushing for the granting of social security benefits to barangay officials.
01:51Sa lahat ng mga barangay officials, kayo po, na hindi pa miyembro ng SSS,
01:59mayroon may higit isang, may isang sinkwenta na mga computers dyan,
02:04lahat kayo, pwede na kayo mag-register para magkiking miyembro kayo ng SSS.
02:10Sakot natin po yun at mayroon kayo makakaroon ng life insurance.
02:17Senate President Francis Escudero also attended the gathering of the Liga ng Mga Barangay.
02:22In a separate speech, he emphasized the Senate is also open to the call for term extension for barangay officials.
02:29Nakikinig at naririnig kayo ng inyong Senado. Pag nakuha namin ng petisyon, agad naming didingin ito sa ilalim ng Komite.
02:38Ni Senator JV Ejercito. Sa pagkakaalam ko, may inihay na pong panukalang batas din si Senator Aimee Marcos. Partikular tungkol dito.
02:49For their part, the barangay chairman felt very pleased with the support shown by both houses of Congress.
02:55Their chair, however, has a reminder for her fellow public servants.
03:00Sana po kapag ito po na-extend, sana po ang sasabihin ng inyong mga constituents,
03:06ang inyong mga kabarangayan, hindi po sana, naku po na-extend si Kap, naku po na-extend si Kagawad, magtitiis na naman ako ng ilang taon.
03:16Sana hindi po yan ang sagot nila. Sana ang sagot po nila, buti na lang na-extend si Kap, buti na lang na-extend si Kagawad, kasi napakagaling po niya.
