  • Why did you run for SK Chairman of your barangay?
    • Was it for the money?
    • Was it for the benefits that came with the office?
    • Was it for the FREE scholarship?
    • Was it for the power and prestige?
    • Was it to build your future political career?
    • Was it just because your friends asked you too?
    • Was it because your family is in politics?
  • We hope you ran for the SK Chairman's office to serve your Barangay. The barangay is the core LGU of the Philippines. If you the SK Chairman, elected by the people, are not doing anything to help attract tourism or attract investors to your barangay, then you have to think about your values in life. The office that you have been elected into provides you with great opportunities. The least that you can do is to give a little something back to your barangay. Service will be a good start!

  • This is such a great privilege of the SK Chairman. He/She is guaranteed an education and access to the internet.

We ask the SK chairman to adopt his/her barangay webpage within zamboanga.com

The SK chairman can give a great and excellent service to his/her barangay by updating the webpage of his/her barangay provided in this site. This will be one of the many ways that he/she can give back to the community who has helped provide him/her with education. The SK Chairman has the internet access and by the way the updates do not have to be done regularly. Once a month is plenty enough. The barangay pages provided in this site are in a template style with standardized questions. All the SK chairman has to do is to provide the information.

The information provided will promote the barangay and the city or municipality that it is in, thereby promoting tourism and attract investors. The information provided for the barangay will work its way up to the top. The information will enhance the municipality/city, the province and ultimately the Philippines.

One Simple Task that an SK Chairman can do to promote his/her barangay

Every barangay in the Philippines has a special day of celebration. That day could be a religious day or a fiesta day or it could be anything. The point is the SK Chairman can promote that event which happens only once a year. Promoting the event can be by information write up or picture uploads. This is just one way that the SK Chairman can give back to his barangay.

What are the SK Federation Presidents doing about promoting their barangays?

  • SK Federation President Joanna Mari D. Mas of Zamboanga City, Philippines called an SK meeting last August 10, 2012 and I was invited to speak about promoting the barangays in Zamboanga City. They decided to have a seminar in a computer internet cafe and the date was set for September 8, 2012. Each SK chairman will be a registered user of zamboanga.com wiki and he/she will be tutored on how to do updates or picture uploads.
  • Secretary to the Mayor Neil Sy of Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines also coordinated the SK's of Sindangan and the meeting is set for Septermber 9, 2012 at 10am at the seniors citizen center.
