The upcoming barangay election is turning out to be a super hotly contested electoral exercise.
The number of candidates being gunned down and ambushed is growing at an alarming rate; practically every day there is news about another candidate, especially for barangay captain, falling victim to violence.
Of course in her barangay, she insisted that they actually go house to house and interview residents to determine whether there is really a need for ayuda and they don’t just list anyone and everyone who signs up. And of course they don’t put their relatives and friends and “ghost” recipients – unlike some other barangays that she knows about but will not name on the record.
Out of curiosity I looked up some information on barangays in Metro Manila, and found out that Manila has the most number of barangays at 897, followed by Pasay , Caloocan and Quezon City . Makati has the richest barangay – Bel Air, surprisingly not Dasmariñas or Forbes – and Caloocan the largest – Bagong Silang.
Let me share the good news that Coastal 500, a global initiative with heavy Philippine participation, was named a finalist at The Earthshot Prize 2023.
