Barangay leaders' frontline role cited

SEN. Bong Go said that as frontliners, barangay leaders have a crucial role in addressing the concerns of Filipinos at the grassroots level.

Go addressed the Liga ng mga Barangay-Negros Occidental Provincial Congress held in Mandaue City on June 4.

The event, led by Negros Occidental LNB Provincial President Richard Julius Sablan, gathered village leaders in the province, where they discussed local governance and community development.

"Show your compassion and bring [government] service closer to the people," Go told them in Filipino.

Go raised the important role of barangay leaders "in bringing [the presence of national] government to the grassroots level."

He recognized their "dedication in maintaining order and harmony within their respective communities."

"I salute each one of you. Your hard work and perseverance serve as inspiration to many [people]. Continue to show your concern to your jurisdiction," Go said.

He assured the barangay leaders of his "unwavering support, regardless of their titles or positions."

Go also distributed basketballs, volleyballs, sling bags, shirts, fruits and snacks to the village officials.
