The document proposes consolidating barangay-level institutions into expanded Barangay Peace and Order Committees (BPOC) and Barangay Development Councils (BDC) to address issues of overlapping functions, wasted resources, and burden on officials. It would expand the BPOC and BDC to coordinate existing anti-crime bodies and development institutions. Composition, functions, and responsibilities are outlined for the expanded BPOC and BDC.

1. Barangay-Based Institutions

2. Rationale
 With the desire to address so many concerns and
bring development at the barangay level, the
government initiated the creation of several
barangay anti-crime bodies and barangay-based
development institutions mostly chaired by the
Punong Barangay himself. This has resulted to
confusion, overlapping of functions,
uneconomical utilization of human, material and
financial resources, and undue burden to
barangay officials. Hence, rendering these
bodies and institutions non-functional.

3. Rationale
 There are only (2) very important committees in
the barangay namely: Peace and Order, and
Development. All other concerns relative to the
welfare of the barangay would fall into any of the
said committees.
 It is through the expanded BPOC and BDC that a
system of coordinating the efforts of the anti-
crime bodies, different development institutions
and citizens’ participation can be established and
maintained.
