MESSAGE

Our new set of barangay officials are entering public service at an

opportune time when the country is gaining ground in terms if transparent
and accountable governance, as well as inclusive growth.

The continuing success of government interventions at the community

level cannot be fully realized without the active support and leadership
of our barangay officials, who are not only the face and the voice of
the government, but our first line of vigilance and development in the
grassroots communities.

As we strive to broaden bottom-up participation in all areas of community

building, our new barangay officials are in a strategic position to ensure
the success of the national agenda in spurring enterprise, fighting poverty
and promulgating criminal justice.

The DILG shall continue to be a strong partner of our barangay officials in

their individual and collective efforts to serve our people, in this pursuit,
the Department has developed the Barangay Newly Elected Officials
(BNEO Program) to further empower our barangay leaders and equip
them with modern skills of good governance.

Let us all continue to champion the tenets of “Daang Matuwid”,

empowering every barangay, no matter how small, with the will and the
capacity to participate in the national vision and agenda.

Mabuhay and Pamahalaang Barangay!

MESSAGE

The barangays are the most fundamental organizational building blocks of

our country. In the hierarchy of our governance systems, each barangay
acts as monolith providing strength and support to make stable pillars
of government. As such, the DILG is the institutional partner that
will bind the palisades to make a solid foundation for good barangay
governance. It is also our mandate to ensure that the performance of our
local officials is at par with the noble standards of public service. Being
the most basic grassroots representation of all local government units,
their strategic presence cannot be overlooked. There lies the importance
of mainstreaming transparency, accountability and good governance
paradigms. On the other hand, in the spirit of local autonomy, we should
also allow them to grow among themselves and develop strategies to
deliver their basic functions and services to their constituencies. Be that
as it may, the Department strives for excellence in barangay governance
that will serve as a strong driving force in our efforts to pursue progress
and development in the countryside. For this reason, the Department
is offering the Barangay Newly Elected Officials (BNEO) Program for this
purpose. This is our holistic response to the overall capacity building
needs of our new barangay officials.

The BNEO Program will aim to strengthen the basic foundation of

governance. This initiative will make them able to withstand the demands
and challenges that may arise in the course of implementing national
thrusts and local concerns. Given this scenario, it is likely that we will be

v
seeing our barangays as effective channels of development in our path of
sustaining self-reliant communities. As our way forward, the Department
will always be here hand in hand with the barangays in a reassuring way
to provide guidance and support through policy issuances and capacity
development programs.

This material is just one of the many training aids to be provided to our
barangays. In light of this, let us be certain in developing our barangay
agenda for development and making it as a valuable tool in living up to
the expectations of your respective constituencies.

MESSAGE

The 2013 barangay election has produced a new batch of reelected

and newly-minted barangay officials. Regardless of their status, it is the
responsibility of the Department to enhance their performance through
our capacity building programs. This poses an immense challenge to train
officials in 42,026 barangays in the whole archipelago. Thus, new ways of
doing things in program delivery is considered to reach the targets and
accomplish the objectives.

This led the Local Government Academy to develop the Barangay Newly
Elected Officials (BNEO) Program. It is a term-based program dealing with
smooth transition, orientation course, planning integration, citizenship
building, performance management, specialized courses, and awards
and incentives programs. Important considerations were inputted in
the design through various consultative meetings with partners and
latest trends in capacity building program delivery. It is by far, our most
exhaustive program on barangay governance and administration.

The BNEO program necessitates its complementation with appropriate

knowledge products to aid in the implementation of the BNEO program.
These materials benefited from the comments and feedback given by
institutional partners and experts on barangay governance. Likewise, they
were updated to include the latest policy issuances of the Department
and relevant programs for the barangays.

vii
The BNEO materials contain wealth of information and guidance that will support
the barangay officials in the performance of their tasks and responsibilities.
They are designed as handy, user-friendly and easy to understand to cater to the
learning needs of the participants. To further customize the usage of materials,
we rely on the coaching skills of our DILG officers in the field to relay the message
of good and effective barangay governance.

Our hopes are high that this material will provide maximum benefits to the users
as we traverse together the learning journey of the BNEO program.

Moving forward to GREAT Barangays!

MESSAGE

The Barangay as the basic political unit, is the primary planning and
implementing unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects and
activities in the community. With this mandate, the barangay officials
play the vital role as frontliners in the delivery of basic services and the
promotion of the general welfare of the people.

The call for good governance becomes imperative, as the barangay

officials are expected to advocate active community involvement and
broader multi-sectoral partnership in pursuing local development in the
communities, considering that the foundation for effective and efficient
governance begins with strong leadership at the barangay level.

We, at the National Barangay Operations Office (NBOO) are one with the
Local Government Academy in enhancing the capacity of the barangay
officials. This Primer shall serve as a tool for barangay officials that will
guide them in the performance of their tasks and responsibilities.

We hope that through this material, the barangay officials can appreciate
the value of partnership, community empowerment and the primacy of
promoting excellence in local governance.
