The barangay tanod is a community bridgethat is a duly appointed and organized underthe supervision of the Punong Barangay.

The Barangay Peace and Order Community

(BPOC) is the primary mechanism inpromoting peace and order in the barangay,and the barangay tanod has a vital role inassisting the BPOC to fulfill its

responsibilities. Barangay tanods are agents of persons in

authority and can apply the police power of the barangay.



As public servants and civilian volunteers in the

community, barangay tanods are entitled to

receive certain benefits and privileges.

Peace and order is the foundation of

development and progress in the community.

The maintenance of peace and order is a shared

responsibility of national and local governments.

The implementation of peace and order

programs, projects and activities in the barangay

requires an activated barangay tanodand the

participation of all constituents in the

community.



You are a barangay tanod in Barangay Malaya. One early

morning at 1:50am there was a man riding on his owner-type

jeep when he suddenly found out that his jeep lost its

brakes. He stopped the jeep on the side street and found

out that the dish brake calibre was lost on the left fronttire. You and some other tanods were out conducting ronda

when you saw the man, and decided to approach him to

offer your help.

You then observed that while he was fixing the brake of hisjeep, suddenly a speedy motor tricycle hit the jeep on the

rear side and caused injury to the man. As a baranagy tanod,

can you arrest the suspect tricycle driver in this incident?

What relevant laws, rules of procedure and limitations

should you consider?



One of the governmental powers of the barangay is the

police power. This includes the power of the barangay to

arrest and detain individuals.

A Punong Barangay is a peace officer in the barangay and is

considered under the law as a person in authority. The

barangay tanods are public safety officers and agents of a

person in authority, and may therefore exercise the arrest

power of the barangay.

YOU ARE RIGHT!
