Before my time with the barangay officials and personnel ended, I thanked each one of them for doing a great job and service for our community. I realized immediately that, those barangays around the university are well-prepared and are well-trained for any type of calamity that may hit their areas. One of the things that I suggested before I left was that they should see to it that everyone sees their sign that says “BARANGAY HALL”, not to flaunt but to make sure that everyone, even visitors or tourists know where to call for help in case of an emergency. Aside from this, I noticed that they’ve worn slippers during their duty so I told them, just to make sure that they can respond quickly and effectively, that they should always wear the proper attire when going on-duty. We’ve talked about how the national government should be more connected to small barangays like them, just for us to have better communication and to make sure that the needs of every barangay are met. When we all communicate well with each other, we can relay information faster and effectively! This can lead to the betterment of our society as a whole. As a member of this community, I can make small adjustments by making sure that everyone is aware of the different events and drills that the barangay conducts. This way, we can all participate and be informed on how we can become better residents of our barangay. I can also share the knowledge that I gained from this interview to my fellow residents in order for them to know that we have barangay officials who are sincere towards their work and who make sure that they can respond to any calamity or emergency that the barangay encounters. End.
