The Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas (transl. league of villages) and the Asosasyon ng mga Kapitan ng Barangay (ABC, transl. association of village chiefs) are formal organizations of all the barangays (transl. villages) in the Philippines. Presently, almost 42,000 barangays are part of this organization, making it the association of Philippine local government units with the largest membership.
The current association is just the latest form of an organization that has been known by various names in the past, such as the Barrio Lieutenants’ Association of the Philippines (BLAP), the Association of Barangay Councils (ABC), and the Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Barangay (PKB; transl. national association of villages).
Each barangay is represented in the League by their Punong Barangay (transl. village chief – transl. barangay captain). In case of his absence or incapacity, a sanggunian (transl. council) member of the barangay shall be its representative after being elected for this purpose by its members.
