READ | DILG: MLGOOs STRENGTHEN RULE OF LAW, SUPPORT FAIR BARANGAY JUSTICE

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reaffirmed the vital role of Municipal Local Government Operations Officers (MLGOOs) in upholding the rule of law and ensuring that the Katarungang Pambarangay system functions effectively and fairly.

Within the Katarungang Pambarangay system, MLGOOs guide barangay officials in observing proper procedures for mediation and conciliation, including the issuance of summons, the conduct of hearings, and adherence to due process under Republic Act No. 7160.

The Department clarified that while the Lupon or Pangkat does not possess coercive power to physically compel attendance, the law provides clear consequences for unjustified non-appearance. Under Section 515 of the Local Government Code, refusal or willful failure to appear despite a valid summons may give rise to indirect contempt proceedings upon proper application before the court and may also affect the ability of parties to pursue claims or counterclaims.

The DILG underscored that the absence of direct coercive authority is distinct from the existence of legal repercussions for disobedience, which are enforced through the courts.

“Ang papel ng MLGOO ay tiyakin na ang proseso ay tama, malinaw, at naaayon sa batas. Sa ganitong paraan, napapanatili ang tiwala ng mamamayan sa ating mga institusyon,” the Department said.

The DILG also expressed concern over the treatment of MLGOO Dexter Castro Narrido during a recent television interview, where he was subjected to undue humiliation while correctly discussing the application of the law. While scrutiny and debate are part of public service, these must be exercised with fairness, respect, and a shared commitment to clarity and understanding.

Ensuring that vital agricultural commodities remain accessible and within reach for Filipinos nationwide 🌱❤️

Improving food access and reducing household spending, the DILG Philippines urges Filipino families to ‘go backyard,’ supporting urban agriculture amid continuing fuel price hike due to tensions in the Middle East.

This initiative aligns with President Bongbong Marcos' recent assurance that the government is closely monitoring market movements and implementing safeguards to cushion Filipinos from external economic shocks.
