Barangay Councils

Barangay Councils are local government bodies responsible for managing and addressing community issues within a barangay, which is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines. Composed of elected officials, including the Barangay Captain and councilors, they handle areas such as peace and order, public services, and local development. They serve as a bridge between residents and higher government levels, ensuring community needs are met through legislation, ordinances, and projects. Essentially, Barangay Councils empower residents to participate in local governance, fostering community welfare and improving daily living conditions.
