This document summarizes a study on developing a Barangay Management Information System (BMIS) for cities and municipalities in the Philippines. The study aims to introduce an information system to help address difficulties occurring in barangays by efficiently and effectively recording, managing, and sharing information between barangay halls and city halls. The proposed BMIS would allow both online and offline management of information related to constituents, clearances, activities, legislation, and required reports. The researchers followed a modified waterfall model for system development, which involves planning, analysis, design, implementation, and testing phases to create the BMIS. An initial testing of the BMIS with barangay officials found it met over 90% acceptability. The researchers recommend

Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.
The real challenge in the modern world is not producing information or storing information,
but apt and proper use of information by people. Since volume of information is growing in leaps
and bounds, the information needs of users are becoming more and more diverse and complex. In
this changing context information providers are facing a lot of challenges to capture, process, store
and disseminate the available information for actual users. The user studies provide a clear
understanding of the actual information needs of the user in order to readjust the existing
information systems or chose new ones. Various models of information needs and informationseeking behaviour have been discussed. Each modelrepresents a different but an overlapping or
similar approach to information seeking behavior of users. In order to satisfy the information need,the user actively undergoes the information seeking processes. Some factors like physiological,emotional, learning and demographic, etc. also deeply influence information seeking behaviour i.e.
some people have to face some obstacles. These barriers may be economic, social, environmental,
time related or geographical.Effectiveness of a professional depends upon dissemination and use of right information at
right time. Information and communication technologies have changed the way in which thelibraries provide their services. Users study provide deeperunderstanding of access to their
collections and services .The need and behavior of their users and satisfaction ratio of users are
new assessment techniques of libraries. Therefore an effort has been made to how determineinformation need and information seeking behavior of users.
Data mining technique has a key role in knowledge
extraction from databases to promote efficient decision making.
This paper presents an approach for knowledge extraction from
a sample database of some school dropped students using
association rule generation and classification algorithms to
demonstrate how knowledge-based development policy making
decisions can be processed from the extracted knowledge. A
system architecture is proposed considering mobile computing
devices as user interface to the system connecting mass people
database with cloud computing environment resources. The
causes of education termination are investigated by analyzing the
sample database in terms of attribute value relationship in the
form of association rules to reason about the causes based on the
computed support and confidence. It is observed that if the
affected family had no service holders, the dropped student had
to stop his education because of financial problem. Classification
is applied to classify the dropped students in different groups
based on their level of education.

Healthdisisyon: Development and Assessment of Barangay Health Unit Decision S...CatleenMadayag
Barangay officials are responsible for the barangay-related decision-making process. The secretary
handles the data to be used by the officials. The Secretary is the person who assists the civil registrar in
recording in his jurisdiction the births, deaths, diseases, and marriages that occur. For this purpose, in
terms of births, deaths, and illnesses, the barangay secretary in the Philippines is an individual assigned
to compile and manage the barangay records. It is laborious to consolidate, manage, evaluate, and retrieve
information, especially in producing efficient information and decision processing, using the current
method of encoding data to excel. For this purpose, the researchers design and develop a Networked
Decision Support System Application to help barangay monitor the Natality, Mortality, and Morbidity rates
in the Barangay for efficient information and decision processing and to define the system's acceptability
to the end-user in terms of functionality, usability, and performance. The data will be automatically
analyzed via tabular, graphical, and geographical formats using the device. Natality, mortality, and
morbidity rates are easily consolidated by the system and computed. The information is now organized and
the records of the different rates are stored in the system's database. The developed DSS for the Barangay
Health Unit correctly fulfills functional requirements for features such as the management of the Barangay
residents' profile, the mapping of geographical information, the statistical report using tabular and
graphical data, and report presentation. The system was evaluated jointly with the residents by the
barangay officials/staff like the secretary. The overall result of the system evaluation using ISO 25010
Software Quality Standard the criteria Functionality, Usability, and Performance statistically implies that
the system was completely functional, efficient and usable, and fulfilled the requirements of the users.

ABSTRACT
Every day, people take actions, trying to achieve their per-
sonal, high-order goals. People decide what actions to take
based on their personal experience, knowledge and gut in-
stinct. While this leads to positive outcomes for some peo-
ple, many others do not have the necessary experience, knowl-
edge and instinct to make good decisions. What if, rather
than making decisions based solely on their own personal
experience, people could take advantage of the reported ex-
periences of hundreds of millions of other people?
In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of mining the
relationship between actions and their outcomes from the
aggregated timelines of individuals posting experiential mi-
croblog reports. Our contributions include an architecture
for extracting action-outcome relationships from social me-
dia data, techniques for identifying experiential social media
messages and converting them to event timelines, and an
analysis and evaluation of action-outcome extraction in case
studies.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to address a solution to the
difficulty that has been occurring in a barangay. The idea was
to introduce management information system to help solve the
problem. This paper provides an efficient and effective way to
record and manage information that is needed of every
barangay. The Barangay Management Information System is
a program which contains features that records and manages
information and at the same time can send documents from
barangay hall to the city hall.

1. INTRODUCTION
In this age of advanced technologies of operation, no one is
left behind from using high technologies to make works or
complex activities easier. Computers, specifically, serve as a
general service tools and weapon in the field of information
retrieval and operations. Computer-based information
retrieval operates through the use of software that can offer
information services for an institution or organization. It is
powerful and convenient builder for simultaneous growth in
society and industries. An information service provides a way
to electronically access, retrieve, and transmit that
information. San Carlos City is a third class city in the
province of Pangasinan. It has 86 barangays and one of these
barangays is Barangay Turac. According to the 2010 census,
it has a population of 175,103 people, making it the most
populated city in Pangasinan and entire Region 1. It is
politically subdivided into eighty-six (86) barangays.[1]
Barangay Management Information System for San Carlos
City is an online and offline system to keep, process, retrieve
and update Barangay and City Hall information through a
secure network interface. It is designed to handle a wide-range
of information relating to barangay profile, constituents
profile, barangay clearances, barangay disputes/cases,
barangay activities, and barangay legislation and City Hall’s
required reports from the barangay. It covers all the functions,
activities and transactions of the barangay which aims to
provide complete and accurate information for the barangay
and city hall management and stakeholders.
1.1 Project Framework
An Information System is an organized combination of
people, hardware, software, resources and communication
networks. Information system is also a scientific study that
covers strategic, managerial and operational activities. These
three activities basically deal with the following operations:
(1) Gathering of Information, (2) Processing of Information
and (3) Storage of Information.
The framework serves as the basis of the proponents in
conducting the study. This included inputs, process and output
of the study as shown in Figure 1.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
According to Nestor (2016), 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.[2]
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 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.[3]
Dr. Peter G. Knight (n.d) in his study, The Online Information
System, can stored data, that is, its file or its database, are
usually organized in such a way that individual pieces of data
can be retrieve and for modified quickly and without
necessarily accessing any other piece of data in the system.
The effectiveness is achieved when management style is
moving to mutual participation of employers, and enhances
the organization to achieve efficiently and effectively its
services to the people.
3. PROJECT DESIGN AND
METHODOLOGY
In designing and developing the proposed system, titled
“Barangay Management Information System for Cities and
Municipalities in the Philippines”, quantitative method will be
used in the study. Quantitative research focuses on gathering
numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people or
to explain a particular phenomenon. The objective of
quantitative research is to develop and employ mathematical
models, theories and/or hypotheses pertaining to phenomena.
The proponents will employ this research method since the
study will be conducted by interview, observations, and
surveys.
The proponents analyze the design of the proposed study and
chose the appropriate methodology as the foundation of the
study. There are different types of methodologies that can be
used but the proponents will be using of a descriptive-
developmental method of research in gathering important data
on how the system is being presented and designed.
Descriptive research method is designed for the proponents to
gather information about present existing conditions needed in
the chosen field of study.
Descriptive research describes and interprets what is
concerned with conditions of relationships that exist; practices
that prevail; beliefs; processes that are going on; effects that
are being felt, or trends that are developing. The process of
descriptive research goes beyond mere gathering and
tabulation of data. It involves the elements or interpretation of
the meaning or significance of what is described. Thus
description is often combined with comparison and contrast
involving measurements, classifications, interpretation and
evaluation. [4]
3.1 Population and Locale of the Study
San Carlos City is the largest city of the province of
Pangasinan. It has a population of 175,103 people. San Carlos
City is politically subdivided into 86 barangays and Barangay
Turac is one of its barangays. The main participants of the
study are the 3 Barangay Officials and barangay workers, the
President of Liga of the Barangay and DILG head in the
municipality to have connection through implementation of
the Barangay Management Information System for Cities and
Municipalities in the Phillippines. Barangay Turac is located
in the City of San Carlos, Province of Pangasinan. City hall is
situated at Palaris St., San Carlos City, Pangasinan where
documents/reports of the barangay submitted.
3.2 Data Instrumentation
The proponents will be using different data gathering tools,
which can help to gather the relevant information needed in
order to achieve the goal of the proposed study. Here are the
data gathering tools:
Observation. The method involves watching and recording the
behavior of individuals or groups, or the events that occur in a
particular place. [5] The proponents will conduct observations
to review the processes and activities involve in the barangay
and city hall.
Interview. “An interview is a procedure designed to obtain
information from a person’s oral response to oral inquiries,”.
[6] The proponents will interview to gather and seek
information. The proponents will conduct interview to the
stakeholders including barangay captain, barangay workers,
and assigned employee in city hall about the processes
involved in issuing clearances and other services that the
barangay issued to its constituents and the reports submitted
by the barangay to the city hall.
Internet Research. Internet Research continues to provide an
outlet for the publication of the latest research relating to
internet technologies and applications, and their impact upon
society. It is recommended reading for academics and
practitioners alike, regularly providing material of interest and
value to both communities. [7] The proponents will gather
additional information through World Wide Web related to
the study.
Library Research. A Library research begins when you need
information to solve a problem, to fulfill an academic
assignment or for your own purposes. It is a way of getting
information by the use of books and journals (Ramsey, 2013).
The proponents will also gather data by using books for the
additional information needed in the study.
Survey Questionnaire. A very important aspect of research
work is a survey or questionnaire. A questionnaire is usually
composed of one or more questions, answered by a number of
people. Survey is the used of asking questions to the
respondents that is related to the study [8]. The proponents
will provide survey to all the users of the system for them to
comment or write what are the needs and don’t to the system
made by the proponent.
3.3 Data Analysis
The key model behind the Management Information System is
to know the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Model
for the development of study.
In order to create the Barangay Management Information
System for San Carlos City, the proponents followed the
appropriate rules of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
This will serve as a guide to the proponents in their proposed
system and its network infrastructure. Phases of the SDLC
model includes System Planning, System Analysis, System
Design, System Implementation, and System Support.
4. PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF
DATA
This method is a derivative of the traditional water fall model
but with some minor variations relative to iterations between
certain stages. In response to the perceived problems with the
pure waterfall model, modified waterfall model have been
introduced. This is the phases to overlap when needed. The
modified waterfall can also split into subproject at an
appropriate phase (such as after the hardware design and
software design).In response to the perceived problems with
the pure waterfall model, many modified waterfall models
have been introduced.

The main change is that the phases in this advanced model are
permitted to overlap. Because the phases overlap, a lot of
flexibility has been introduced. At the same time, a number of
tasks can function concurrently, which ensures that the defects
in the software are removed in the development stage itself
and the overhead cost of making changes to the software
before implementation is saved.
Fig 2: Modified Waterfall Model
4.1 Model Comparison using the criteria
Modified waterfall model uses the same phases as the pure
waterfall model. In response to the perceived problems with
pure waterfall model, modified waterfall model have been
introduced. This enables the phases to overlap when needed.
The modified waterfall can also split into subproject at an
appropriate phase (such as after the hardware design and
software design). In response to the perceived problems with
the pure waterfall model.

4.2 Implementation and Testing Phase
This phase comes after a complete understanding of system
requirements and specifications, it is the actual construction
process after having a complete and illustrated design for the
requested system. In this phase, the system is ready to be
deployed and installed in customer’s premises, ready to
become running, live and productive, training may be required
for end users to make sure they know how to use the system
and to get familiar with it, the implementation phase may take
long time and that depends on the complexity of the system
and the solution it presents [9]. During the implementation,
the proponents tested the system with the barangay captain
and secretary, and Liga ng mga Barangay President. The
proponents implement the system in the barangay hall and
Liga ng mga Barangay office. After testing the system, the
involve people accomplished a survey based on what they
experience on the system. The proponents used convenience
sampling method and come up with 70 respondents. Testing
Phase includes detection of errors in the software. The testing
process starts with a test plan that recognizes test-related
activities, such as test case generation, testing criteria, and
resource allocation for testing. The code is tested and mapped
against the design document created in the design phase. The
proponents conducted testing together with the barangay
captain, appointed secretary, and the president of the Liga ng
mga Barangay. The proponents summed up the comment of
the tester.
4.3 Deployment Phase
After successful testing, the product is delivered / deployed to
the customer for their use. As soon as the product is given to
the customers, they will first do the beta testing. If any
changes are required or if any bugs are caught, then they will
report it in the engineering team. Once those changes are
made or the bugs are fixed then the final deployment will
happen. The proponents will not conduct this phase for this is
beyond the scope and limitation.

4.4 Maintenance Phase
The maintenance phase involves making changes to hardware,
software, and documentation to support its operational
effectiveness. It includes making changes to improve a
system's performance, correct problems, enhance security, or
address user requirements. To ensure modifications do not
disrupt operations or degrade a system's performance or
security, organizations should establish appropriate change
management standards and procedures. The proponents will
not conduct this phase for this is beyond the scope and
limitation.
5. CONCLUSION
Therefore, the proponents conclude that the Barangay
Management Information System for Cities and
Municipalities in the Philippines, plays a big part to make
work efficient. The gathered information like stakeholders,
policies, IT equipment to be used, and barangay forms and
reports are necessary inputs in the conduct of the study for
they are means of getting the appropriate output of the study.
Policies being practiced in the barangay and city hall are
important factor in the determining its integrity and authority.
Proponent also relied on the policies being practice in the
barangay and city hall to be able to execute it on the proposed
system. Since the functionalities of the system are very
important, the proponents based it on the scope of the study
where sending of reports was included in the process of the
system. Modified Waterfall model met the criteria given by
the proponents in choosing the best model to be use in the
study. After comparing it to the other modes, it has been
proven that it is suitable in the proponent’s study. The full
functionality of the proposed system met the scope of the
study and ready to be used. The results of the survey exceeded
the last objective of the study, which is to provide at least 90
% of acceptability of the system.
6. RECOMMENDATION
The proponents recommended that there should be a person
that is computer literate to operate the system. This is
important to run the system without any supervision. The
proponents also encourage the stakeholders, to have further
research of the same study in other places, local or foreign to
verify, strengthen or contradict the findings of the study. This
might be necessary so that if the findings of the study are all
the same, the generalizations of wider application can be
formulated. The proponents also recommend to provide their
own I.T resources if they will adapt the study, in order to
maintain the flow of the network infrastructure. These
resources are essential to make daily operations organize and
reliable.
