Badio Spends 50.9 Percent for Honorarium of Its 2005 Budget
Barangay Badio, Numancia, Aklan held its Barangay General Assembly Meeting in the afternoon of December 23, 2005 at the Multi Purpose Pavement. Barangay Badio claimed it is the second barangay of Aklan to have had held such a general assembly in compliance with the Local Government Code. Congratulations for being second. Badio can be first to hold such general assembly meeting next year.
What are the agenda in that general assembly? Of course the accomplishment, and the Badio Sangguniang Barangay is proud to have prepared some 25 barangay resolutions in year 2005. let us examine how much honorarium was paid the Badio Barangay officials in 2005 based upon the unsigned Financial Report, the Barangay officials received just a very small amount of P303,250 honorarium for the 11 month period from January to November. Moreover, they also collected mid-year bonus of P22,000 in May and Cash Gift of P22,000 in November or a total of P347,250.00.
But that is not enough, they have still the month of December for 2005 where they may collect P27,750 honorarium. This will make a grand total of P375,000. Not bad compensation, right? This amount is just 50.9 percent of the total Barangay Badio expenses of the last 11 months of 2005.
Another major expenses was used for the purchase of books, (SK project) worth P 26,352.00. Where are the books? Mrs. Amor Magdaluyo asked. It is located in the house of the Barangay SK chairman. Is the house converted into a barangay public library?
But for one thing, Badio is youth friendly, because in addition to books, more money was spent for youth like for the day care center, SK sports uniform and supplies, SK snacks, SK sound system and SK referees fee.
Because of sports activities in the evening and the road lighting, Badio spent a big amount for electricity and electric supplies.
Badio has a beginning balance of P77,428.90 in January 2005. But only P60,767.72 at the end of November 2005. Where did this money the Badio Barangay Council spent came from? Principally, from the Internal Revenue Allotment. Sad to say 50.9 percent of which were paid as emolument to Barangay Officials. It earned P4,790 only out of clearances/permit issued. The report neither mention earnings from community tax nor the share from real estate tax.
For the next general assembly, it will be wise for the Barangay Council to prepare its Annual Report for the information of the community. It well be best to prepare and distribute also the annual budget for reference and transparency. In the invitation, include the agenda of the general assembly.

The Information Technology (IT) project which is mainly the purchase of a very high quality cellphones to give prestige and more honors to the honorable members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Kalibo may not be pushed through. If ever cellphones are purchased, it will be for those who are determined to get it despite of the adverse reaction on the IT project from some Kalibonhons.
When interviewed, the following will not get the cellphone: Vice Mayor Nilda B. Tambong, Hon. Arnaldo Tejada, Hon. Madelene Regalado, Hon. Jerry Malbas and Hon. Ariel Fernandez. Hon. Greg Malapad is still studying if he will receive the cellphone.
“I have my own cellphone, I don’t need any additional unit. Moreover, I can not withstand the adverse public reaction,” Hon. Regalado answered when asked why she changed her mind.

Despite its loss of a court case, garnishment of its bank deposits, Akelco paid its top officials P20,000 and P15,000 for employees christmas bonus in 2005. What a benevolent people organization! Akelco is proving to be loving themselves first before others. “Charity begins at home”.
The Board of Directors and Akelco Management with NEA sanction have appropriated just a “small amount” for their bonus and honorarium.
These are (bonus and honorarium) the rewards for losing a court case against a member-consumer in Linabuan Sur, Banga and another court case against a supplier, the garnishment of bank deposit and frequent black outs that damaged electrical appliances and annoyed people. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
