Purok
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Purok (English: District[1]), also known as zone, is a political subdivision of a barangay.[2] It is the smallest unit of governance in the Philippines[3] led by a barangay councilor appointed to lead the purok.[4] It is not, however, officially considered as a local government unit.
A purok is typically composed of twenty to fifty or more households, depending on the particular geographical location and cluster of houses. If created and given a mandate by an ordinance of the barangay, municipality, or city, a purok could perform government functions under the coordination and supervision of their local officials.[3]
