THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Today, in the midst of the rising popularity of automation and advancement in technology, one of the most basic components of our government is unfortunately left behind: the Barangay unit. Every aspect of the Barangay’s processes and services are still done manually: from filing and recording a complaint, checking the records before releasing a barangay clearance, to filing records of incidents that happen in the barangay. In most barangays, records were kept in logbooks which could either damaged or get lost. Logbooks also make it difficult to search specific report or record. Skimming through several logbooks for a certain report can be tiresome for it takes a lot of time. This will slow down proceedings, investigations, and inquiries that need the production of that information. It is also difficult to keep track of redundant record or even update the proceedings of a case. Also, logbooks can be easily taken out of the office or rip off pages without anyone noticing it. To improve the efficiency of filing reports and complaints in the barangay level, storing barangay information in a central database will allow for easy storing and updating of records. Retrieval of records will also be faster with the records readily available in the server. Another thing is that this will allow concerned government agencies to gather data for planning and development hassle-free. Furthermore, automation reduces
