The legal basis for the imposition of such fees and charges is pursuant to
Section 152 (b) of Republic Act No. 7160 or otherwise known as the Local
Government Code of 1991 which states that:

Section 152. Scope of Taxing Powers The barangays may levy taxes,
fees and charges, as provided in this Article, which shall exclusively
accrue to them:
(b) Service Fees or Charges barangays may collect reasonable fees or
charges for services rendered in connection with the regulation or the use
of barangay-owned properties or service facilities such as palay, copra, or
tobacco dryers;
4

The said law provides no fixed rate for fees to be imposed by barangay on
clearances but only states that the fees should be reasonable;

What is reasonable is said to be that which does not exceed the existing fees
of the government (P25.00);

The purpose of this barangay for such imposition fees and charges is to raise
additional funds for essential development and projects;

During the Committee Hearing, Barangay Kagawad Maria Lutz A. Mongas was
present. It was clarified during the hearing that the Barangay does not issue
business permits. It seeks to collect fees for issuance of Barangay Clearance
to be used in applying for business permit;
