After which, he served the town as its local executive in the early 70s. And, in the early 80s, he was elected Barangay Captain in his barangay.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, he was elected as ABC President of the province,\u00a0 ABC President of Region 7, and ultimately as the Secretary-General of the Federation of ABC Presidents in the whole country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the series of elected local positions held, Short Cuts could easily recognize and identify the varied behaviors, reactions, and interests of candidates in a barangay election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this query could be asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How is the degree&nbsp; of interest that candidates for barangay elections show as of NOW as compared to the interest of candidates BEFORE the effectivity of the New Local Government Code?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, it must be remembered that long before the New Local Government Code, elected barangay officials serving their respective barangays were not afforded even a single cent of honorarium or per diem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant of it all, Barangay Captains and other Barangay Officials are, in most cases HOSTS when bigwigs in the town, \u00a0specially the municipal mayor or provincial offical \u00a0visit the barangay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wa pay suheldo pagasto-on pa jud. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, with that scenario, who is that person in the barangay that would muster enough guts in order to get elected as a barangay official?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for power and dignity as a barangay official?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <em>Short Cuts,<\/em> no way!
