'WALA NA ANG PANGALAN NG BARANGAY COUNCIL'

LOOK: A barangay captain in Pasig City posted a photo of their new official letterhead after the DILG released a memo that directs the strict enforcement of the "Anti-Epal" policy nationwide.

"Mapapansin nating wala na ang pangalan ng Barangay Council sa gilid. Parte ito ng ating effort na umiwas sa tradisyunal na patronage politics at itaguyod ang Anti-Epal ordinance," wrote Barangay Kapitolyo captain Alex Torres on Saturday afternoon.

In a statement released Saturday morning, the DILG cited its Memorandum Circular No. 2026-006, requiring all provincial, city, municipal, and barangay officials, including DILG central, regional, and field offices and attached agencies, to ensure that “no public official’s name, photo, logo, initials, color motif, slogan, or any identifying symbol appears on project signages, markers, tarpaulins, and similar materials funded by public money.

"Maliit man pero makikita dito ang malinaw nating katayuan sa pagbago ng sistema. Hindi dapat pulitiko at personalidad ang tinitignan sa paggogobyerno pero ang sistema at institusyon na kailangan ng reporma," Torres added.

As of writing, Torres' Facebook post has more than 6,000 heart and like reactions as well as 1,800 shares.
