1. In view of the trepidation of some concerned citizens that some public school teachers may opt to be appointed as Barangay Secretaries or Treasures and thus neglect their primary mission to teach and mold pupils and strengthen their basic education to prepare them for higher levels of learning, there is reproduced on the reverse side the letter of Director Serafin M. Benaldo, National Barangay Operations Office, Department of Local Government, dated August 3, 1992, citing Sections 394(c) and 395(c) of the Local Government Code of 1991, which specifically provide that no government employee may be appointed as barangay secretary or treasurer and that public school teachers being government employees are not exempt from said provisions.
2. Wide dissemination of this Order is requested.
