A barangay (Filipino: baranggay, [baɾaŋˈɡaj]) is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. Municipalities and cities are composed of barangays, and they may be further subdivided into smaller areas called purók (English: zone), and sitio, which is a territorial enclave inside a barangay, especially in rural areas. In writing, barangay is sometimes abbreviated to "Brgy." or "Bgy.". As of June 28, 2011 there are a total of 42,026 barangays throughout the Philippines.
When the first Spaniards arrived in the 16th century, they found the Filipinos having a civilization of their own and some living in well-organized independent villages called barangays. The name barangay originated from balangay, a Malay word meaning "sailboat".
The term barangay was adopted and barangay structure defined in the modern context during the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the old barrios and municipal councils. The barangays were eventually codified under the 1991 Local Government Code. The word "barangay" was derived from an ancient Malayo-Polynesian boat called a balangay.
I just know it's all gone wrong
Feeling all the pressure, can't weather the storm
'Cause I kept myself in a cage
All wound up and filled with rage
I just know it's all gone wrong
Feeling all the pressure, can't weather the storm
'Cause I kept myself in a cage
All wound up and filled with rage
Forgive oneself of nothing at all
Pounding my head against the wall
Guilt ridden and bound to lose
Puncture my wounds, won't see the truth
I looked in the mirror, what did I see?
One man bitter with apathy
The whole thing turned out to be a joke
But I'm not laughing, I'm without hope
I'm without hope
It's never well thought out, just my instant demise
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
It's all so bitter, the hurt inside
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
Ruptured, I've lost it all
My heart ripped out, I can't stand at all
'Cause I've cost my brain to never relax
Picking at all the torturous facts
I just know it's all gone wrong
Feeling all the pressure, can't weather the storm
It's never well thought out, just my instant demise
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
It's all so bitter, the hurt inside
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
My inner desire
It's my inner desire
It's never well thought out, just my instant demise
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
It's all so bitter, the hurt inside
Haste and hatred, my inner desire
