HB 481

House·20th Congress·Filed Jun 30, 2025

An Act Mandating All Barangays to Create a Registry of Skilled Workers

In plain language

The proposal would require every barangay to set up a public list of local skilled workers—such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and seamstresses—who voluntarily provide their contact and qualification details. The list must be posted in the barangay hall (and online if possible), updated each year, and kept free of registration fees, although modest charges may be applied for copies or ID cards.
