A barangay hall is the seat of local government for the barangay, the
lowest elected administrative division of the Philippines, below that of
a Philippine city or Philippine municipality. The barangay captain, the head
of the barangay government, will often hold office there. The elected
barangay council, the Sangguniang Barangay, will also hold its meetings
there.

The barangay hall also serves as a local community center often providing
space for both permanent and temporary services and events. The
barangay's day care center and office space for the tanods and
the barangay health workers are often located there. Medical missions,
religious services, fiestas, and sports contests are often held at or next to the
barangay hall.

Like many recent government buildings in the Philippines they usually


have concrete block walls, galvanized iron roofs, and tiled floors.
The modern barangay is headed by elected officials, the topmost being
the Punong Barangay or the Barangay Chairperson (addressed as Kapitan;
also known as the Barangay Captain). The Kapitan is aided by
the Sangguniang Barangay (Barangay Council) whose members,
called Barangay Kagawad ("Councilors"), are also elected.
The council is considered to be a local government unit (LGU), similar to the
provincial and the municipal government. The officials that make up the
council are the Punong Barangay, seven Barangay Councilors, and the
chairman of Youth Council or Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). Thus, there are
eight members of the Legislative Council in a barangay.

The Barangay Justice System or Katarungang Pambarangay is composed of


members commonly known as Lupon Tagapamayapa (Justice of the
peace). Their function is to conciliate and mediate disputes at the
Barangay level to avoid legal action and relieve the courts of docket
congestion.

The barangay is often governed from its seat of local government,


the barangay hall.
A tanod, or barangay police officer, is an unarmed watchman who fulfills
policing functions within the barangay. The number of barangay tanods
differs from one barangay to another; they help maintain law and order in
the neighborhoods throughout the Philippines.

The Barangay Health Volunteer, also known as Barangay Health Worker, is a


category of health care providers in the Philippines. They undergo a basic
training program under an accredited government or non-government
organization, and render primary care services in the community. They
provide services such as first aid, maternal, neonatal, and child health, and
community-based interventions including immunization clinics
for barangays (local neighborhoods).
