Rationale
With the desire to address so many concerns and bring
development at the barangay level, the government initiated
the creation of several barangay anti-crime bodies and
barangay-based development institutions mostly chaired by
the Punong Barangay himself. This has resulted to confusion,
overlapping of functions, uneconomical utilization of human,
material and financial resources, and undue burden to
barangay officials. Hence, rendering these bodies and
institutions non-functional.
Rationale
There are only (2) very important committees in the
barangay namely: Peace and Order, and Development. All
other concerns relative to the welfare of the barangay would
fall into any of the said committees.
It is through the expanded BPOC and BDC that a system of
coordinating the efforts of the anti-crime bodies, different
development institutions and citizens’ participation can be
established and maintained.
