Paglulunsad ng Barangay Public Audit QR (PAQR) System sa Cabangan

Bilang suporta sa pagpapalawak ng tunay na transparency at partisipasyon ng publiko sa mga proseso at performance assessments ng gobyerno, sinaksihan ng Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Cabangan ang paglulunsad at paglagda ng Memorandum of Agreement para sa Barangay Public Audit Quick Response (QR) System.

Ang programang ito, na binuo sa pagtutulungan ng Liga ng mga Barangay Cabangan Chapter, DILG Cabangan Field Office, at Team Pilipinas NPO Cabangan Chapter, ay naglalayong gawing abot-kaya para sa lahat ng mamamayan ng Cabangan ang pakikilahok sa pamamahala o participative governance, lalo na sa lebel ng mga Barangay Local Government Units (BLGUs).

Inooffer ng Barangay Public Audit QR (PAQR) System ang isang madali at accessible na plataporma gamit ang isang QR Code para sa real-time na mekanismo ng feedback kaugnay ng performance at serbisyo ng barangay, gaya ng:

• Pagsunod sa Barangay Full Disclosure Policy Board at Sangguniang Kabataan Full Public Disclosure Board.
• Client Satisfaction Survey
• Barangay Kalinisan Program.
• Etc.

Ang PAQR ay hindi lamang isang sistema, kundi isang imbitasyon sa lahat ng mga concerned citizens na makibahagi sa pagpapabuti ng mga pasilidad at serbisyo ng kanilang barangay, at sa higit pang pag-unlad ng kanilang komunidad.

READ | Going backyard: DILG cites 16.6k HAPAG sites as buffer vs. economic uncertainty

Amid persistent oil price hikes and volatile commodity costs, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is urging Filipino families to “go backyard,” citing a total of 16,609 HAPAG (Halina’t Magtanim ng Prutas at Gulay) sa Barangay gardens nationwide as a practical buffer against economic uncertainty.

This aligns with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s recent assurance that the government is closely monitoring market movements and implementing safeguards to cushion Filipinos from external economic shocks.

The DILG said the community gardens are now operational across the country, helping communities improve food access and reduce household spending as global tensions, particularly in the Middle East, continue to affect fuel and food prices.

Launched in 2023, the HAPAG sa Barangay program promotes backyard gardening and shared community spaces to grow fresh produce, strengthening food security at the grassroots level. By 2025, nearly 700,000 households have established their own backyard gardens, supporting local government efforts on nutrition and sustainable urban agriculture.

The DILG emphasized that surplus harvests from these gardens can serve as a “natural price stabilizer,” as produce is either consumed directly or sold at significantly lower costs within communities. In 2025 alone, HAPAG initiatives contributed an estimated ₱12 million in earnings for participating communities.

One netizen noted the urgency of the program amid rising prices: “Tama po na magtanim lalo na ngayon na nagtataasan na naman ang presyo ng bilihin gawa ng nangyayari sa Middle East.” Another highlighted its role in addressing hunger: “Ayos ‘yan nang mawala ang nagugutom o mabawasan man lang.”

The DILG also reported a significant increase in policy support for urban gardening. As of latest monitoring, 36,979 ordinances have been enacted nationwide to institutionalize community gardens, up from 24,238 in the first semester of the previous year.

Through urban gardening initiatives such as the HAPAG sa Barangay project, alternative sources of agricultural commodities are within reach for Filipinos to ease their financial strain amid ongoing increases in food and oil prices.

READ | PRESYO PINABABA: DILG PUSHES KADIWA AS DIRECT RELIEF FOR FILIPINO FAMILIES

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) urged Filipinos to support and purchase affordable goods from KADIWA outlets now operating in 784 local government units (LGUs) nationwide, as the government steps up efforts to cushion the impact of rising fuel costs on basic commodities.

In line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. following the declaration of a National Energy State of Emergency, KADIWA ng Pangulo continues to provide direct access to low-cost food and essential goods.

KADIWA, or Katuwang sa Diwa at Gawa para sa Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita, operates as a direct producer-to-consumer market under the Department of Agriculture, cutting layers in the supply chain to lower prices while increasing the income of farmers, fisherfolk, and micro, small, and medium enterprises.

The DILG called on LGUs to identify and secure strategic locations for KADIWA sites to ensure sustained access to fresh, affordable products in communities.

Consumers can purchase rice, vegetables, fruits, processed food, non-food items, and ready-to-eat meals at reduced prices, with P20-per-kilo rice available for vulnerable sectors.

Public response reflects its impact. One netizen shared, “Ang Kadiwa ay isa sa mga paraan upang maibsan ang nagtataasang presyo. Mababang presyo at de kalidad na produkto ang hatid sa bawat barangay.”

Another beneficiary said, “Pangalawang bili namin ng tig-20 pesos na bigas sa Kadiwa ng Pangulo. Sobrang laking tulong nito sa amin.”

The DILG also hosts a KADIWA market at its Central Office in Quezon City and has sustained monthly KADIWA activities since 2024, providing access to goods from over 40 merchants.

The Department emphasized that programs like KADIWA ensure that government support is directly felt at the household level.
