Abstract

It is along this line that it is important to craft a peacekeeping concept appropriate to the particular situation of peace and order in the barangay. Realizing the significance of barangay peace and order programs, this study was steered to determine the prevailing peace and order programs and its extent of implementation in Barangay Sumacab Este, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The researchers used a pre–designed survey questionnaire and distributed them to 270 barangay residents. The distribution was based on convenience sampling technique and data gathered were treated with a weighted mean. The results of the study have shown that majority of the barangay peace and order programs are implemented only to a moderate extent based on the experience of the citizens. Thus, it is recommended that the barangay officials together with all the concerned personnel including the chief of the barangay enforcers, the barangay enforcers, and barangay workers shall work altogether to strengthen the peace and order programs in the barangay. This shall be done with careful planning and well–defined strategies within the smallest political unit in the Philippines, the barangay level.
