During the event, which carried the theme, “Building Strength for Continuity and Institutionalized Reforms", the President called on the barangay officials to continue the Daang Matuwid that his administration had initiated.
The Chief Executive also took the opportunity to bid farewell to the barangay officials.
"Bago po ako magtapos, siguro ho’y alam ninyong kulang-kulang walong buwan na lang ang natitira sa ating paglilingkod. Maganda ho siguro na ngayon ay nag-uumpisa na akong magpaalam... Kayo po’y naging matinding kabalikat nitong ating panunungkulan. Sana po, higitan pa natin ang nagawa sa mga lumipas na taon," he said.
The Liga ng mga Barangay assembly aimed to orient the participants on Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan (UBAS), Disaster Risk Management, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT), the Department of Interior and Local Government Programs and Projects for Barangays, with emphasis on bottom-up budgeting, benefits and privileges of the group’s members and other organizational concerns.
