Barangay Assembly
 The law called Republic Act 7160, also
known as the Local Government Code of
1991, makes it a rule for the barangay to
have a gathering called a barangay
assembly
 This assembly includes all people who have
been living in the barangay for at least six
months, are fifteen years old or older, are
Filipino citizens, and are listed as residents
of the barangay
 In Yusingco's (2022) study titled "Barangay Assembly:
Enhancing Political Discourse and Civic Engagement in the
Philippines," the Barangay Assembly emerges as a powerful
legal mechanism fostering participatory governance
 Enabling citizens to actively influence community policies
and collaborate with local authorities, this approach has the
potential to challenge established political dynasties when
utilized effectively
