Barangay officials
A barangay is led and governed by its barangay officials. The barangay officials are considered as a Local Government Unit (LGU) same as the Provincial and the Municipal Government. It is composed of a Punong Barangay, seven Barangay Councils or Barangay Kagawad. Thus, there are eight members of the Legislative Council in a barangay. Each member has its own respective committee where they are Chairmen of those committees. There are three appointed members of each committee.
The Committees are the following:
- Peace and Order Committee
- Infrastructure Committee
- Education Committee
- Health Committee
- Agriculture Committee
- Tourism Committee
- Finance Committee
- Youth and Sports Committee

gollark: You can't become the tallest unless you- count underground and dig down to bedrock- remove the dirt around your tower and then build it as far down as possible- somehow manage to exceed the height limit
