According to Nestor (2016) 3, barangay represent the government at the grass root
level. They are considered the epitome of what the government can offer and are the
court of first help of the general populace.

Henczel (n.d.) calls this as information audit, focusing on the information sources,
resources, show and how information contributes to the objectives of an organization
like barangay. This study is the solution to the problems stated and toenhance the
quality of service a barangay office offers to its clients. Furthermore, this serves as an
awakening factor for all government offices, from highest to lowest levels, to be in line
with the government’s view of globalization and competitiveness in today’s information
age

As studied by Algara (2015) on Barangay Resident Record Management and Certificate


Issuance System it stated that this study focuses on the records management system
of the said Barangay. The Barangay treasurer/secretary is the one who performs
permits, certificates transactions community tax, business taxes, and other fees. They
are also in charge of keeping tracks of the records, capture and maintain up-to-date
records of all issuance transactions and daily, monthly, yearly reports. They manually
handled transactions daily; specially get Barangay clearance, certification, cedula and
permits. Before the accomplishment of the task the constituents who request must
undergo a long process. Same through with storing of files, updating, accessing of data
and recording the expenses, they used folders and log of papers for its storage. The
staff encountered difficulties and long procedure in retrieving and recording file 5.

TalentMagnifier (2017) analyzed that, Management Information system is very


important for decision-making in professional and personal life. For the functioning of
organizational decision-making is important. Today there is a cut-throat competition
and it is imperative to take effective decisions for that manager needs accurate
information to beat the competition. MIS facilitates the better flow of information. MIS
is implemented at all levels of the organization. Collection of data, processing of
information and controlling of information is done by the MIS applications. MIS is
needed for the functioning role, for performance role, and for support.

As mentioned by Sakthievel (2014) , The Management Information System (MIS) plays


exactly the same role in the organization. The system ensures that an appropriate data
is collected from the various sources, processed and send further to all the needy
destinations. The system is expected to fulfill the information needs of an individual, a
group of individuals, the management functionaries: the managers and top
management7.
AWonderWorldBlog (2005) indicated that a Computer Information Service represents a
giant leap in computerized system of barangay transactions and records handling.
They can provide up-to-date information with relatively little effort on the part of the
user and put a huge amount of information within easy, convenient and comfortable
reach. Not mentioning the security and integrity of the transactions and of the
documents it also provides8.

This study aims to present possible solution to the problems stated and to enhance the
quality of service a barangay office offers to its clients. Furthermore, this serves as an
awakening factor for all government offices, from highest to lowest levels, to be in-line
with the government’s view of globalization and competitiveness in today’s Information
Age.

According to Lado et al., (2017)9 computerized barangay information system is


appropriate for use of barangay employees, who have access to profile of barangay
residents for the direct reports. Moreover, departmental organizational staffs which
have a business need for this information for their business unit can also benefit. This
is responsible for an effective and efficient approach for barangay employees and
residents. It well helps them accomplish task faster and would also eliminate the need
of a large staff. It will provide profile-based information for residents

In broad strokes this article adumbrates some issues in Filipino virtual communities
and social interactions mediated by information technology (IT). Problems and
prospects are explored with the optic of the barangay, a social unit that evolved from
the pre-Spanish `boat community to its present dominant geo-political form. While IT
tends to be instrumental in Western hegemonic encroachment into the Filipino
lifeworld, some of its libertarian potentials are gaining ground in emerging cyber-
barangays which require new `focal things and practices.’ The emerging Filipino
communities mediated by IT are spheres of localization amid globalization and
questions of nationhood. The article also proposes to `Filipinize’ IT – that is, to
creatively and critically appropriate IT into practices congenial to Filipino culture. The

Francesca Tessarollo (2010) in her study revealed that a good information system is
significant for the proper functioning of every organization. Nowadays, organizations
have to manage many data and pieces of information and have to meet the needs of
the market in an increasingly precise and fast way. To do all this in the best possible
way, companies need an efficient information system. To organize and manage the
data and information the organization must have a good information system. The data
and information must be accessible timely, and every time the users need it. In this
way, the users or employees in the organization can have access to the information
needed in real time and can make a decision in a fast way 11.
