Senate Bill 252: “The State recognizes that the mandated duties of the barangay chairmen are not commensurate to their meager honoraria, allowances and other emoluments. Similarly, barangay chief executives are not entitled with hazard duty pay.”
Senate Bill 253: “Through the years, the plight of these Barangay Tanods are often neglected. Although they are given some benefits for the task they perform, it is a fact that such benefits are not commensurate with the risk they are encountering while they are on duty. Thus, this proposed measure seeks to remedy the sad plight of our Barangay Tanods.”

Senate Bill 255 is pending before the Committees on Local Government and Finance. It upgrades the benefits of tanods who rendered at least one year of service in the barangay government.
While the Department of Energy claims 100 percent of the country’s barangays now have electricity, it does not automatically mean the agency’s electrification efforts have been completed.
On this note, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson sought a closer look into the government’s rural electrification program, after learning that many sitios – enclaves far from the barangay centers – still do not have power.
“Sitios are a part of barangays. We cannot say barangays are 100 percent powered if a few sitios in those barangays still have no power,” Lacson said at a Commission on Appointments hearing for Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi.

Hindi kasiguraduhan na ganap nang tapos ang pagpapailaw ng mga barangay ng Department of Energy, kahit sabihin nito na 100 porsiyento ng mga barangay ang may kuryente na.
Ito ang nabatid ng mga mambabatas na miyembro ng makapangyarihang Commission on Appointments sa pagtatanong ni Sen. Panfilo Lacson kay DOE Sec. Alfonso Cusi na sumalang sa kumpirmasyon.
Tinanong ni Lacson ang kalihim kung ilang porsiyento na ng mga barangay sa bansa ang napapailawan ng DOE, base sa datus na nakuha ng mambabatas na dapat noon pang 2008 ay nakumpleto na ito.

Barangay captains who risk their lives as front-liners in ensuring security and rendering basic services to their communities may finally get a much-needed benefit in the form of a higher insurance coverage, if a bill by Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson is passed into law.
Senate Bill 254, the “Additional Barangay Captains’ Insurance Act of 2016,” seeks to give barangay captains insurance benefits other than those provided by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) under Republic Act No. 8291.
“In the conduct of these functions, especially during emergencies and calamities, barangay chief executives are the front-liners, putting their lives at risk in the service of their respective constituents,” Lacson said in his bill, adding the added insurance is “in recognition of their contribution to the community and in advancing their welfare as public servants.”

Kumilos na si Senador Panfilo Lacson para madagdagan ang mga umiiral na benepisyong ibinibigay ng pamahalaan sa mga kapitan ng mga barangay, kapalit ng pamumuno at serbisyong ipinagkakaloob nila sa mga nasasakupan.
Sa Senate Bill 254 na iniakda ni Lacson at pinamagatang “Additional Barangay Captains Insurance Act of 2016,” isinusulong nito ang pagkakaloob ng seguro sa mga kapitan ng barangay na mapapatay o kaya ay mapapahamak sa pagganap sa tungkulin.
Sa ilalim ng nabanggit na panukala, nilinaw ni Lacson na kung tatambangan o mapapatay sa pagganap sa tungkulin ang isang barangay captain, tatanggap ang kanyang mga naulila ng P200,000; karagdagang P50,000 para sa pagpapalibing; at P100,000 sa nagastos sa gamutan.
