THESIS ABSTRACT
The study made use of the descriptive method to assess the effectiveness of
barangay officials in the performance of their duties and responsibilities in
selected barangays in Batangas City.
iv
It was concluded that majority of the respondents were female, ages ranging
from 20 – 30 years old, mostly from college level, residing in the barangay for
more than 20 years, unemployed, and from Sta. Rita Karsada. The respondents
assessed the effectiveness of Barangay Captain and Sangguniang Barangay in
the performance of their duties and responsibilities with its mandated functions
by the Local Government Code as effective. There is a significant difference in
the effectiveness on the performance of Barangay Captain when grouped
according to respondent’s age, educational attainment and area while on
Sangguniang Barangay, responses varies on educational attainment and area.
The performance rendered by the Barangay Captain and Sangguniang Barangay
were not affected by the problems encountered. There is a significant difference
on the problems affecting the performance of Sangguniang Barangay particularly
in Libjo. No significant relationship exists between the effectiveness in the
performance of Barangay Officials and the problems affecting it. And an action
plan was proposed to maintain and further improve the performance of the
Barangay officials.
The researchers recommended that the Local Government Unit of Batangas City
through the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) may conduct
periodic training seminars to improve the performance of Barangay Officials in
the consistent implementation of barangay ordinances. They may coordinate with
the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the frequently inspection and
maintenance of barangay facilities. The Barangay officials may echo the
information and learnings they have acquired from seminars to other barangay
officials. DILG may assess Barangay officials as to the performance of their
duties based on their annual reports especially in liquidation and transparency.
The action plan recommended by the researchers may be tabled for discussion
and implemented thereafter. Also, future research of the same topic may be
conducted using other variables specifically on factors affecting the effectiveness
in the performance of Barangay Officials.
