Ilagan. <br/><br/>	The Philippines is prone to disasters because of its geographical location and from the past years, the country has experienced a number of disasters that affect the human lives. Thus, the government allotted funds to lessen and manage the impact of disasters. <br/>	A study on calamity fund management practices was carried out among the barangays of selected areas of Cavite, namely: Cavite City, Maragondon, Naic, Ternate, and Tanza which were considered prone to disasters. Purposive and stratified sampling techniques were used to select the participants and to proportionately allocate and select the barangays per area. 	Moreover, using panel regression in random effects, it was found that among the barangay characteristics such as population, barangay class, income from internal revenue allotment (IRA), income from other sources, the allotted budget for calamity, and disaster occurrences, only barangay class and income from IRA are considered contributory in the barangay officials' decision of employing their judgment in allocating calamity funds. <br/>	Hence, it was concluded that there are other possible factors that could affect the fund management decisions specifically in allocating and utilizing the budget of the barangays in dealing with disasters and unforeseen events. With these, it is recommended that barangays should allot and use the calamity fund in disaster- related programs properly in order to accordingly address the constituents' need and more likely to lessen the unutilized portion of the budget.<br/>
