Senate·20th Congress·Filed Jul 7, 2025
Barangay Health Workers Act of 2025
An Act Mandating the Appointment of Barangay Health Workers in Every Barangay, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 7160 Otherwise Known as the Local Government Code, Further Expanding the Benefits of Barangay Officials and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The bill requires every barangay in the Philippines to have at least five full‑time health workers (but no more than 1 % of its population). These workers will be appointed by the municipal or city mayor, receive honoraria and allowances like other barangay officials, and will be the primary channel for delivering basic health services at the barangay level.
