A Barangay Tanod is a local volunteer who has been deputised and received some training to be a Tanod. They carry out basic security functions under the auspice of the Barangay Captain for their barangay.
This is likely to include basic police functions from arrests, traffic control, keeping the police although the post is quite flexible dependent on the context of the barangay in which they work.
From what research I have recently done they do not tend to carry firearms but sometimes they do, on occasion without a license and therefore are unlikely to have training in it. More often they will be armed with a baton, often made of rattan.

(FYI a barangay is the basic or smallest socio-political area of governance in the PHP.)
No one answer. The Tanod (watchman) performs policing functions in the village. The answer would depend on the individual Tanod- skills, training, need, and the laws that govern that Barangay.

There is no Republic Act (or an approved bill) that specifically created the position of a "barangay tanod". But, according to The Local Government Code (R.A. 7160), it is within the purview of the local government units to create appointive positions in their jurisdictions for specific functions. It is in this implied provision that barangay tanods were created.
