ISSUE: Should Barangay Secretaries and Treasurers receive salaries (just like regular government employees) instead of Honorarium?

General Information

Issue:

Im a barangay treasurer. No question in particular but [just] want to suggest na sana gawin na lang salaried employees ang barangay treasurer at secretary. Masyado kaming bugbog sa trabaho compared sa aming kaparehas na sueldong mga kagawad. (please hide my name)

  1. Yes, correct. To maintain the records and funds of the barangay… Sana ma regular position na ang treasurer at secretary pero dapat qualified din, cs eligible to avoid the influence of the barangay officials.

  2. Yes. Kelangan yan mas madami kasi silang trabaho-paper works kesa mga kagawad lang na kelangan lang magsession ng 2 to 4 times a month at okay na. At kelangan din may qualifications kasi political appointment ang nanggyayari kahit hindi talaga suitable sa trabaho. Mas malala kasi pag ang humawak ng pera ay walang kaalam alam sa paghawak ng pera. Lalo pa at public fund yun.

  3. well dapat they have the qualifications din tulad ng normal employees, hindi lang basta trust and confidence.
