barangay tanned to be issued foremost happen to them and there benefits?
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.
Barangay tanods should not force anyone to sign a barangay summon. The decision to sign the summon should be voluntary, and individuals have the right to seek legal advice before signing any document. Any form of coercion or intimidation is not allowed.
Barangay captains, as the elected leaders of their respective barangays, have the authority to appoint and remove barangay officials such as barangay tanods and barangay secretaries. This power allows them to ensure that the barangay officials serving under them are capable and aligned with their administration's goals.
The law says that those vehicles which are within the vicinity of the area where the flag raising ceremony is held should stop. The national highway is a highway for fast running vehicles and stopping them suddenly while in the middle of the highway would cause accidents. I don't think barangay tanods are given permission to do that. They may be liable for vehicular accidents that may happen.
Barangay tanods play a vital role in crime prevention by monitoring and patrolling their communities to deter criminal activities. They also assist in maintaining peace and order by reporting suspicious behavior to the authorities and engaging with community members to promote safety awareness. Additionally, they often collaborate with the police to address security concerns and implement crime prevention initiatives at the barangay level.
