NPOV

The article is currently full of promotional statements ("unsung heros", etc) without actually saying who these volunteers are, what they do, why they're important, or any other encyclopedic information. To be an article, it needs to be neutral, verified, and about a notable subject. The article currently does none of these. — Saxifrage ✎ 00:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Working space

These things need to be added to the article with more information:

History

• 1970's - Early beginnings in Davao and Panay
  • The Full-time Outreach Workers and the Total Integrated Development Approach
• 1980's - From Population to Health
• 1990's - From Volunteer to Worker
  • How the Local Government Code affected the Barangay Health Volunteers
• 2000

Facts and Statistics

Legislation

• Barangay Health Workers' Benefit and Incentives Act of 1995; see http://www.doh.gov.ph/ra7883.htm

Merger proposal

The two articles on Barangay Health Worker and Barangay Health Volunteers, Philippines are essentially referring to the same concept in the same country, and should be merged. This article even acknowledges the terms are synonymous. Guptan99 (talk) 13:34, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Change the name. Drop the "Philippines"

Does anyone else but the Philippines have barangays? I don't see a need for the ", Philippines" modifier. Shall we change the page title? --Bruce Hall (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

No comments and so I will go ahead and move the article.--Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 15:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Who calls them "volunteers"?

I have always heard them referred by as barangay health workers. Who calls them "volunteers"? Can someone provide the citation? They do get paid, and there is constant talk about uping their pay. See this article in the Manila bulletin. It says, "At present, barangay health workers receive a monthly honorarium of only P1,000 a month." --Bruce Hall (talk) 04:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

No comments. Therefore I will move the article to Barangay health worker unless anyone objects here, when I get around to it. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 07:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
