Barangay Activities and Projects! We councils have many plans we wanted to implement and conduct, "BUT" let's all think first if we have the budget to assist these programs!
Liga ti Barangay and Educational Program for KKs. Cleanliness and Environmental Advocacy. These are just a few of the activities that we can do with the budget we have and, of course, with the assistance of every LGU, but cash assistance???
Other barangays with greater budget shates can't even implement it, and yet there are some who thinksthat they can do it with the little resources they have. Well, it's not wrong to make it as one of "your" platforms, but let's think realistically: the budget share of our barangay is so small, and SK officials only have a share of 20 percent, of which 5% of it, I think, is the allocation for its members' pay (SK members). So 15%, is the total amount needed to use for the allocation of SK programs, and I'll say it's not enough. So if they wanted to implement or to make such a thing then they should need to make use of every bit of the budget, even if they need to cut off some of the activities for the KKs. Don't be a hypocrite. It really is a good program, but we should also think about what our constituents would feel if that program weren't be implemented or cancelled due to factors that we overlooked.
We can be futuristic, but let's not forget to be realistic!
