Barangay
A barangay (in Filipino: baranggay , marked: “Ba-row-merry”) smallest with the Filipino is the administrative unit. Reality is variable: village, district, room or district. The communes and the cities are made up of barangays. Historically, a barangay is a rather small community, made up from 50 to 100 families.
Each barangay is directed by a chief of barangay ( punong barangay ). This mayor of district directs the council of barangay ( sangguniang barangay ), bringing together the advisers of barangay ( kagawad ). Each barangay comprises a council of youth ( Sangguniang Kabataan or SK ), directed by a president, animated by advisers and who organizes the activities directed towards youth, like the leagues of Basket-ball, in the barangay.
The majority of the villages count thirty to hundred houses, and a population from one hundred to five hundred people. According to Legazpi, there exist communities from twenty to thirty people. Many coastal villages of the area of the Visayan have only eight to ten houses. The word itself derives from a term which indicates the old boat Malayan, the balangay. Each barangay coastal original is supposed to come colonists made in boat from other zones of the South-East Asia.
