Legarda files bill to regularize barangay officials

Senator Loren Legarda said it was high time to provide full-time benefits to barangay officials, lamenting that mere honoraria might not be adequate for them.

Legarda, who filed Senate Bill No. 2786, or the Regularization of Barangay Officials Act, remarked that the lack of financial stability of barangay officials might cause them financial stress, which may lead to ineffective delivery of government services.

“We want our barangay officials to receive the same full benefits that other government workers enjoy, giving them the peace of mind they deserve — especially after serving their communities,” said Legarda.

“The most basic unit of local government must also be incentivized for their efforts for their public service, as they usually are the most tangible persons of the State many residents see,” she added.

Darkness unfolds in the latest Blumhouse thriller, “Speak No Evil.” Unleashing horror in PH cinemas on September 11

Producer Jason Blum got a call from an executive who saw a thriller that got under his skin, and was eager to see this film. The movie was the 2022 Danish film, Gaesterne, and the screenplay went on to be the inspiration for the latest Blumhouse thriller Speak No Evil. “I’m always glad to be the guy who gets the call when someone sees something disturbing— if it ruins your day, call me!— so I arranged to see it and I was floored. As it unfolded, I recoiled with each new revelation, and when it was over, I couldn’t shake it. I believed that in the right hands, an English language reinterpretation could be a very memorable, very unsettling, very special film,” Blum says.
