Moonwalk, Parañaque

Based on Section 3 of said Presidential Decree, the first set of barangay officials of Barangay Moonwalk were the same elective barangay officials of Barangay Santo Niño who continued to perform their duties as such in the newly created barangay until a new set of officials for have been appointed by the President. These new set of appointed barangay officials were to hold office until their successors were elected in the regular barangay elections following the issuance of the said Decree, and were qualified, unless sooner removed at the pleasure of the President. The other officials and employees of the newly created Barangay were likewise appointed as necessary to organize or complete the government personnel of Barangay Moonwalk.[5]
