  • Barangay Resolution Template

    Introduction

    This barangay resolution template is a general drafting guide for barangay councils, committees, and local offices that need to prepare a formal resolution for a project, activity, policy, request, endorsement, or other official action.

    Barangay resolutions may be subject to specific legal, procedural, voting, publication, posting, approval, or recordkeeping requirements. This template is intended to help organize the draft language, but the final document should be reviewed by the proper barangay officials and adapted to the applicable local process.

    Notes for Customization

    • Replace all bracketed placeholders with the correct barangay, date, official names, and resolution details.
    • Confirm the proper resolution numbering format used by the barangay.
    • Adjust the "WHEREAS" clauses to explain the factual basis for the resolution clearly and briefly.
    • Keep the "RESOLVED" clauses specific. Avoid broad language that is not supported by the meeting record or council action.
    • Confirm whether the resolution was adopted during a regular or special session.
    • Attach or reference supporting documents when needed, such as project proposals, minutes, request letters, committee reports, or attendance records.
    • Review the final format against the barangay's existing resolution format and records procedure.
