Incumbent Barangay Chairman
TWO EXTREME WAYS IN WHICH POLITICS IS EXERCISED 1. People Oriented Politics – means all arrangements entered into or the interests advanced by the candidates or political parties, or incumbent officials are that of the majority of the people. The issues tackled and platform of government offered redound to the benefit of the barangay members, especially those who are poor.
2. Personality Oriented – means that motivations and activities of those seeking public office are directed towards the benefit of their persons. The concerns of the barangay officials will be the interest of friends, relatives, and the like, with the welfare of the majority having lower priority. This is the kind of politics we have in the Philippines today.
