Only in one barangay is a candidate unopposed. At Brgy. 13 the only candidate is Tanya Familiaran, showing the leadership of City Council topnotcher Elcid Familiaran.
In Brgy. Tangub, there are eight candidates for punong barangay. One of the best barangay leaders I have known is Captain Bebot Fuentes of Brgy. 17, Diting Descalsota of Brgy. 28, and Rommel Diaz of Brgy. 22. It’s a pity they are graduating now. There are many other good candidates. Barangays are better run now because they have a budget from the real estate taxes earned by the barangay. And the officials are paid for their services. In the past when barangays were called barrios, officials were not receiving anything. It is not enough that people in the barangay participate in activities of the community. See to it also that the funds of the barangay are managed transparently. That is why it also pays that in the barangay council, there is opposition there, too, people to blow the whistle, if needed.
