This study aimed to determine introduced the concept of the Barangay Justice System on
how to handle disputes or conflict and to become fair and effective to the two parties. In
effectiveness, which means fulfilling a specified function in fact, though not formally
acknowledged and in fairness means impartial and just treatment or behaviors without
favoritism or discrimination. The narrative method was used in this study. All of the officials from
the Barangay Bancod, Barangay Población III and Barangay Calumpang were asked and
interviewed and served as participants of this study.
The researchers used unstructured interviews to determine the roles and the experiences
of the Barangay officials on the effectiveness and fairness in alternative dispute resolution. The
participants of the study were 6 barangay officials, and 3 participants underwent dispute
resolution. The key to the success of the disputes was on both sides the tasks done by the
barangay official and also the participation of both parties to settle the problems well, as shown
by 7160 to guide both parties to settle the issues effectively.
Most of the file cases filed against barangay officials were settled during their annual
performance, but some cases were not settled due to the seriousness of the case. On the other
hand, the barangay officials said that they don't encounter any difficulty with regards to dispute
resolution. The participants of the dispute resolution are also well-cooperated.
