“Sa lebel ng komunidad talaga ang tunay na laban sa COVID-19. National government can only do general supervision but the barangay governments are on the ground and closest to the people. Barangays, therefore, have the huge responsibility in implementing minimum health standards,” he said.
The DILG, through the Office of Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Martin B. Diño, issued an advisory dated June 17, 2020, reminding all punong barangays nationwide to monitor the adherence within their respective jurisdictions of the practice of wearing of face masks, physical or social distancing, regular handwashing, and the availability of sanitizers, clean water, and soap. Barangays are also directed to discourage mass gatherings and eating together in communal areas.
Aside from policing the enforcement of these standards in their barangays, the DILG further enjoins barangay officials to do regular cleaning and disinfection within barangay premises.
Barangays should minimize the number of participants of their activities such as holding meetings and other sessions. If available, they are urged to utilize digital platforms like video conferencing that can foster physical distancing among the staff.
