The Punong Barangay, the Sangguniang Barangay members, the Sangguniang Kabataan Chairman, the Barangay Treasurer, and the Barangay Secretary shall be entitled to such compensation, allowances, emoluments and such other privileges as provided under Title One, book III of the Local Government Code.
Elective local officials shall be entitled to the same leave privileges as those enjoyed by appointive local officials, including the cummulation and commutation thereof. (Sec. 81, LGC)
As a general proposition, elective officials entitled to salary is not dependent upon actual attendance in office. They are not even required to keep a record of their daily attendance such as by accomplishing civil service form No. 48 (daily time record) or punching the bundy clock. Thus, a provincial governor is entitled to collect salary even when absent on a personal business, it being well-settled that an elected officer is entitled to emoluments so long as he is permitted to retain the office, the right thereto, being independent of services performed. (De villa v. Mathay, Sr. G.R. 38426, 11 May 88)
