MANILA, Philippines — The team of president-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is studying a proposal to lengthen the service of barangay officials to five years per term, instead of the current three, Executive Secretary-designate Vic Rodriguez said Friday. 

 

"We are open to all options that are being presented to us including the possibility of passing a law and making the term of barangay captains to five years, still subject to three terms," he said in a statement. 

 

Rodriguez, who was formerly a barangay captain, said he believes additional years to a barangay official's term will improve governance instead of the "current practice of constant extension" through postponing the elections.
