Sotto said that the program, launched in 2019, enables barangay to swiftly respond to residents’ needs, including small infrastructure and urgent repairs, without assistance from the city or national government.
“Politically speaking, this was a difficult decision to make. But we know that patronage politics is a big part of the cycle of corruption, so we are trying to break it,” the mayor said.
He thanked villages that have used the funds properly and noted that the aid remains under Commission on Audit rules, with the local government conducting special audits to ensure transparency.
The 2024 Summary Utilization Report of barangay is available on the city government’s full disclosure portal.
