Ah, the eternal mystery of why people are running for Barangay elections! The Adobo Chronicles has once again brilliantly exposed the absurdity of this seemingly senseless pursuit. Why, you ask? The answer is simple: the irresistible charm of earning a jaw-dropping P1,000 a month for the esteemed role of Barangay captain is just too enticing to resist! After all, who doesn’t want to enjoy the lavish lifestyle of a potato?

And let’s not forget the Kagawads, who earn a princely P400 a month! It’s the kind of wealth that would make Scrooge McDuck blush. The real question is, can you ever truly put a price on the prestige and power that comes with a Barangay position? Apparently, you can, and it’s pocket change.

But what really makes this whole affair a delightful farce is the immense campaign spending. It’s almost as if these candidates have a secret stash of treasure maps that lead to gold doubloons in their backyards! So, folks, when you see someone running for Barangay elections, remember they’re not in it for the money, they’re in it for the glory of holding a job that pays less than the average phone bill.

And as far as their campaign expenses are concerned, it is not non-sensical to expect that the elected officials will make sure there will be a more than fair return on their investment!
