CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

Katarungang Pambarangay or Barangay Justice System is a community-

based dispute settlement mechanism that is administered by the basic political

unit of the country, and it is headed by a Barangay Captain. As a community-

based mechanism for dispute resolution, it covers disputes between members of

the same community generally, same city/municipality and involves the Punong

Barangay and other members of the community, the Lupon members as

intermediaries, mediators, conciliators, and, sometimes, arbitrators.

Under the Barangay Justice System, the main strategy for settling

disputes is to provide a venue for the disputing parties to search for a solution

that is mutually acceptable. Hence, the primary role of the system is not to decide

disputes and impose a solution on the parties but to assist the parties in

discussing the possible amicable settlement of their disputes. The Punong

Barangay and the community conciliators (Lupon members) do not act as judges

or adjudicators of disputes but as facilitators for the disputing parties’ discussion

of possible solutions. For this reason, the personal appearance and participation

of the disputing parties is necessary, while the non-appearance of the parties will

have corresponding sanctions. Also because of the need for the disputing

parties’ personal participation in the conciliation proceedings, disputes involving

non-natural persons like corporations are not subject to the conciliation

proceedings of the Barangay Justice System.

In the Philippines, lack of access to justice is one of the main indicators of

poverty. It obliges poor people to build informal systems to handle their conflicts,

which are often more arbitrary and dangerous for the poorest of the poor.

Moreover, the absence of real access to civil and social rights that poor people

are entitled to as citizens, make them develop a culture of victimization, which

distance them even more from the sense of citizenship. Consequently, they end

up reinforcing their intolerable social, political and economic discrimination,

reproducing their situation.

Thus, this study will focus on recent initiatives to address this problem in

the town of Buenavista, particularly the promotion and institutionalization of the

Barangay Justice System (BJS) – an ADR or Alternative Dispute Resolution

program at the barangay (village) level- whose ultimate goal is to improve access

to justice through the amicable settlement of family and community disputes.

Theoretical Background

This study is anchored mainly on the theory of Karl Marx developed by

Thomas Kilmann, “Conflict Theory”.

The Thomas Kilmann theory identifies two dimensions when choosing a

course of action in a conflict situation, these are assertiveness and

cooperativeness. Assertiveness is the degree to which you try to satisfy your own

needs. Cooperativeness is the degree to which you try to satisfy the other

person’s concerns. From this come five conflict handling modes:

 3

 Avoiding = sidestepping the conflict

 Accommodating = trying to satisfy the other person’s concerns at expense of

your own

 Compromising = trying to find an acceptable settlement that only partially

satisfies both people’s concerns

 Competing = trying to satisfy your concerns at the expense of others

 Collaborating = trying to find a win-win solution which completely satisfies

both people’s concerns

Conflict theory, first developed by Karl Marx, is a theory that society is

in a state of perpetual conflict because of competition for limited resources.

Conflict theory holds that social order is maintained by domination and

power, rather than by consensus and conformity. According to conflict

theory, those with wealth and power try to hold on to it by any means

possible, chiefly by suppressing the poor and powerless. A basic premise of

conflict theory is that individuals and groups within society will work to try to

maximize their own wealth and power.

Marx theorized that, as the working class and poor were subjected to

worsening conditions, a collective consciousness would raise more

awareness about inequality, and this would potentially result in revolt. If, after

the revolt, conditions were adjusted to favor the concerns of the proletariat,

the conflict circle would eventually repeat but in the opposite direction. The

bourgeoisie would eventually become the aggressor and revolter, grasping

for the return of the structures that formerly maintained their dominance.
 4

An important assumption of conflict theory is that human

relationships and social structures all experience inequalities of

power. In this way, some individuals and groups inherently develop

more power and reward than others. Following this, those individuals

and groups that benefit from a particular structure of society tend to

work to maintain those structures as a way of retaining and

enhancing their power.

Legal Bases

The Barangay Justice System is mandated by Republic Act No. 7160 or

the Local Government Code of 1991 and it also had been covered by

Presidential Decree 1508 (Establishing A System of Amicably Settling Disputes

at the Barangay Level) in 1978 and Batas Pambansa Blg. 337 or the 1983 Local

Government Code. Section 399 of the local government code 1991, stated that

under the guiding principles, provides Section 399. Lupong Tagapamayapa. –

(a) There is hereby created in each barangay a lupong tagapamayapa,

hereinafter referred to as the lupon, composed of the punong barangay,

as chairman and ten (10) to twenty (20) members. The lupon shall be

constituted every three (3) years in the manner provided herein.

The Barangay Justice System maximizes the use of time-honored

traditions and practices of communities in settling disputes between community

members. Filipinos traditionally resort to the help of older members of the family,
 5

community elders, or tribe leaders in resolving disputes between members of the

same family or community. This is the common practice that is recognized and

formalized by the Barangay Justice System. In lieu of family members,

community elders, or tribe leaders, the Barangay Justice System uses the

Punong Barangay and the Lupon Members, who are appointed from the

respected members of the community. In recognition of traditional customary

practices in some indigenous communities, the law on the Barangay Justice

System provides that in communities that have distinct traditional practices of

settling disputes, the customs and traditions of the indigenous cultural

communities shall be applied. Thus, local systems of settling disputes through

their councils of datus or elders are recognized and followed with the same force

and effect as the procedure laid down in the law (Katarungang Pambarangay

Handbook, 2004).

The strength of the Barangay Justice System lies in the fact that it is

based in the community itself, and is administered by community members using

traditional practices in dispute resolution. With this set-up, the disputing parties

are expected to be more comfortable in discussing their problems and in

exploring solutions to the disputes. It is likewise expected that the community-

based set-up of the Barangay Justice System will ensure that the parties will

honor the amicable settlement that was agreed upon. Ultimately, the Barangay

Justice System is envisioned to live up to its name. It is expected to ensure the

dispensation of justice at the grassroots level.

Agustin et al., (2018) investigated the effectiveness of Lupon

Tagapamayapa in conciliation process as practical way of delivering justice in

Barangay Caritan Centro in the city of Tuguegarao. Specifically, it determined the

functions of Lupon Tagapamayapa, the different cases brought before them, how

they administer conciliation, their efforts in reconciling parties, how effective they

are in issuing certification to file action, enforcing laws and their proper

application of the legal procedures. The descriptive-qualitative research was

employed to measure the effectiveness of Barangay Caritan Centro and to

determine the practicality of the Process concerning Katarungang Pambarangay

Law. This research found out that the Lupon members are confident to discharge

their exceptional efforts manifested by being conscious and discipline enough

over their mandated roles, functions and responsibilities to make every

conciliation proceedings successful through the observance of all the considered

aspect of effectiveness. Moreover, the Lupon is readily available and

accommodating in providing greater performing its responsibility in accordance

with the existing provisions of the law ensuring that disputes must be compulsory

and obligatory upon the parties subject to the conciliation process; that Lupon

Tagapamayapa is effective to a great extent in acting judiciously in their duty to

 7

amicably settle disputes; policy of it to follow the legal protocols with utmost

diligence as stipulated for under the Katarungang Pambarangay Law, Local

Government Code of 1991, and other similar statutes. Lastly, the Lupon

members are carefully executing the step-by-step process in accordance with

their lawful mandate; exercises a deeper evaluation and investigation of the

cases brought before them in order to qualify with their compulsory function to

harmoniously settle conflicts. In the view of the findings of this undertaking, he

researchers recommended that the Lupon Tagapamayapa be more effective in

its current and future conciliation efforts over celebrated cases, it must come up

with pro-active advocacies and milestone effort in identifying issues, projects,

programs, activities, actions, concerns and problematic situations.

A better procedure for peaceful dispute resolution in the community

through the barangay justice system is a breakthrough in the provision of judicial

services in the community (Pagandian & Pasule, 2019). People who have

handled cases in the past have indicated that they are not interested in

submitting the records or documents of the case process and resolution.

However, these people, in particular the barangay officials, after attending

courses in the barangay justice system training realized the shortcomings and be

aware of this shortcoming (Guia, & Mangubat, 2021).

Apparently, because of the knowledge gained from the training courses

they attended, they started to build their own documentation system and

furthermore maintain the record-keeping and filing system for proper record-

keeping purposes (Antonio, 2020). The project has also attracted more interest
 8

and support not only from barangay officials but especially from residents of a

community after learning that the BJS project does not intend to change existing

traditional practices and dispute resolution standards in the community in fact,

the goal is to strengthen them (Lim, 2019). Moreover, the project poses a greater

challenge for the barangay officials to further research and become familiar with

their respective functions as elected officials to promote more effective

governance at the local level (Cruz, Frontuna & Tus, 2021).

Killip (2021) stated that the judicial practices in the Lupon include conflict

resolutions and imposition of sanctions. The judicial practices on conflict

resolution in the Lupon follow a series of trial procedures; first one is the private

mediation process of the barangay mediation council that involves only the

barangay officers and the conflicting parties; and, the second one is the public

trial of the conflict through arbitration by the Lupon members. The judicial

practices on imposing sanctions include fine such as money, personal

belongings, property, or livestock and community service. Overall, the use of

customary laws on deciding cases in the Lupon are highly accepted by the

people which make the role of the elders of the community as members of the

Lupon highly significant.

Guia & Mangubat (2021) stated that the Katarungan Pambarangay

(Barangay Justice System) is a mechanism of rural peace building tool in a

community. Katarungan Pambarangay (Barangay Justice System) was establish

as a way of decongesting the courts of dockets of cases being filed in them. It is

also a time-honored tradition of amicably settling disputes among family and

 9

barangay members at the barangay level without judicial resources. The

researchers seek to answer this question,“through the experiences of the Lupong

Tagapamayapa (Peace-making Council), how does the Katarungan

Pambarangay (Barangay Justice System) function to contribute rural peace

building tool of Barangay Wakas South, Pilar, Bataan?” This research is a

qualitative research that utilized the logbook of cases filed in the barangay hall

and the researchers also interviewed members of Katarungan Pambarangay

(Barangay Justice System) and residents from Barangay.

The effectiveness of barangay officials in conciliation process as a

practical way of delivering justice in barangay the effectiveness of barangay

officials in conciliation process as a practical way of delivering justice in barangay

(Agustin, Cruz, Medrano, & Sinco, 2018). To resolve disputes as an underlying

unit of authority and how the dispute resolution procedure enables both parties to

conciliate a dispute resolution and resolve the dispute peacefully out of court by

the parties involved rather than through the highly technical strategy of filing

petitions and presenting evidence in court(Barangay Justice System (BJS) in the

Philippines, which is a community mediation programme, whose overarching

objective is to deliver speedy, cost-efficient and quality justice through non-

adversarial processes (Mohammed & Caingat, 2017). Members of the lupon

must enhance their paralegal training and skills to make them more effective in

settling the disputes and update themselves with laws promulgated and

implemented (Sobradil, 2019).

Benter (2020) stated that a clear indication that the members of the

barangay justice are trying their very best in the discharge of their mandated

powers and functions to fully serve the interest of their constituents relatively with

the settlement of disputes serving as controversies affecting rights and interests

of both the adversarial parties. Thus, is thereby producing a favorable consensus

from the people thru mediation conferences. However, in terms of referral of

cases, there is a clear evidence that there is still a need for improvement in the

performance of roles and responsibilities on the part of the “lupon and pangkat,”

to fully and best serve the judicial interest of their constituents thru an effective

mediation conference between the adversarial parties in the system.

Deinla & Taylor (2015) stated that legal pluralism is a lived reality in

Mindanao yet there are very few scholarly and practice-oriented works on the

subject. The discourse on plural legal orders is a site of contestation among

political interests both in Mindanao and within the Philippine state. The interests

on ‘alternative’ modes of justice have been driven by both domestic and

international initiatives on legal reform and access to justice. There is a need to

deepen studies on legal pluralism in Mindanao, including more empirical studies

on the functional administration of justice, the roles, backgrounds and

motivations of justice providers and users, and the interaction or interdependency

among the various normative orders within the local level and between the local

and central state justice systems. The provision of effective justice among the

people in Mindanao is a crucial task of post-conflict reconstruction that includes

careful balancing and management of these complex plural legal systems.

 11

Beza et al., (2017) stated that a disaster of manmade origin, conflict is a

violent struggle resulting in destructive outcomes for people and the natural

environment. The recovery process can be greatly hampered by issues of

mistrust that characterise conflict vulnerable communities. Women, however, can

be effective in various roles to overcome mistrust and assist the peace-building

process. This chapter reports an action research to identify the roles of women in

conflict-vulnerable areas of Mindanao, Philippines. Initial findings suggest that

women are an untapped resource who can be effective in various roles to

overcome mistrust between people as well as support community-based

recovery processes.

Review of Related Studies

Local Authors

In the study of Lupao et al., (2022), “ Barangay Justice in the

Philippines: Challenges and Innovations”, concluded that traditional concept

of amicable settlement under Barangay Justice System is still applicable

even in this modern world however challenged by the ability of the

implementers to handle different behavior of disputants which requires

logical innovative approaches convincing to the senses of disputants to

achieve peaceful settlement. The appointment of Lupon members coming

from different sector is an advantage as they are a combination of different

profession with different skills and experiences fitted to the varied personality
 12

and profile of disputants. Moreover, the need to gain the trust and

confidence among the Lupon members by the disputant is important.

Acabo et al., (2021) in their study “Dispute Resolution and its

Effectiveness in the Municipality of Buenavista”, stated that dispute

resolution is a method of public needs assessment that aims to promote

home and social peace at the community level. This study aims to evaluate

the arbitration, conciliation, and mediation to implement the roles as the

dispute resolution and its effectiveness in the Municipality of Buenavista.

The data obtained through the questionnaire were analyzed and interpreted

using the descriptive research method. The results show that out of 120

lupon tagapamayapa/barangay captain that most of them are at the age of

51 and above years old, mostly college graduate, male, with 5-9 trainings

attended, and lastly, most of them are 3-5 years of experience as a lupon

tagapamayapa. Also, the result shows that out of 10 barangays, 5

barangays have a case on the collection of slander, 4 barangays have 26-50

cases led per year, 3 barangays have 16-30 cases settled, and 10

barangays have 46 cases unsettled. Furthermore, the level of capacity

among lupon tagapamayapa/barangay captain as to arbitration is sometimes

observed in all cases. Conciliation and Mediation are consistently observed

in all cases. This signifies the skills of dispute resolution among barangay

captain/lupon tagapamayapa in Buenavista Agusan del Norte.

Acabo (2020) in his study “ Higaonon Tribe Justice System” stated

that the tribal justice processes are part of a well-structured, time-proven

 13

social system geared towards reconciliation, maintenance, and social

relationships improvement. The purpose of the study was to give an insight

to the readers about the Higaonon Tribe Justice System. This study utilizes

descriptive and qualitative approaches, specifically observation and

immersion. The findings concluded that all violations that had happened

within their tribal community should be settled within their tribal justice court.

The result also revealed that the proven guilty should pay according to the

gravity of the offense. However, when the suspect cannot afford the victims’

side’s demands, all Datu/Tribal Leaders will help. It was recommended that

the legal department of the Municipality of Buenavista would conduct a Para-

Legal Justice training to build the capacities of recognized mediators and

potential leaders in the tribal criminal justice system to enhance their existing

local knowledge. Through the Barangay officials and Police officer, the

government shall introduce ‘’jail’’ into the tribal community to help

government solve jail congestion. Moreover, the tribal council should appoint

members of the barangay to record the settlement (paghusay) by having a

hard document. These records will contain the date, time, and venue,

persons attending during the hearing, and agreements or decisions.

Foreign Authors

In the study of Wiley et al., (2020), “street mediation and management of

police patrol or community head” ,emphasizes that the head of the community is
 14

the most important member of the officials and mediating organization, as

outlined in their goals and objectives; factors that affect operations, such as local

politics and community characteristics; and particular occupational hazards of

mediation, such as job stress and psychological trauma. .

In the study of Benter (2020), “ A Assessment of the Barangay Justice

System in Hagonoy Bulacan: Basis for Enhancing Mediation Procedure, implied

a clear indication that the members of the barangay justice are trying their very

best in the discharge of their mandated powers and functions to fully serve the

interest of their constituents relatively with the settlement of disputes serving as

controversies affecting rights and interests of both the adversarial parties. Thus,

is thereby producing a favorable consensus from the people thru mediation

conferences. However, in terms of referral of cases, there is a clear evidence that

there is still a need for improvement in the performance of roles and

responsibilities on the part of the “lupon and pangkat,” to fully and best serve the

judicial interest of their constituents thru an effective mediation conference

between the adversarial parties in the system.

In Botengan et al., (2019) “Tut-uya, as Customary Law Process in

Resolving Administrative Cases at the Department of Education” The framework

of the study revolves basically around the idea that tut-uya, an indigenous way of

peacefully settling disputes, can be a potential scheme to be integrated and

adopted as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) among the Indigenous

Peoples schools in the Cordillera Administrative Region. This study presupposed

that tut-uya processes impact speedy resolution of cases in schools. To

 15

understand the processes involved and the implications of tut-uya to the

Alternative Dispute Resolution, descriptive qualitative research design was

employed. There were eight selected respondents of the study based on

snowball purposive sampling. Respondents had direct experience in using the

processes of tut-uya in resolving administrative cases. Results showed that court

and Civil Service Commission litigations were avoided by the respondents by

using the tut-uya processes in resolving conflicts for school cases. The principles

of restorative and transformative justice are reflected in the indigenous justice

system practices and using the procedures of tut-uya is a viable mechanism in

strengthening the implementation of Alternative Dispute Resolution at the

Department of Education. Shared community values play a large role in resolving

conflicts since among tribes, it is believed that an offense made to an individual is

an offense made to the whole community.

mediation in the Barangay Justice System when there is a need for them to use

their service during conflicts of students and teachers in the school.

Parents

This study will serve the parents as to who they would contact whenever

the need to maintaining peace and order in their small community arises.

Students

Through this study, students will soon participate in the campaign of

peace and order conducted by the Barangay Captains in the form of mediation.

Future Researchers

Statistical Treatment

To give more meaning and relevance on the data gathered, the researcher

used the following statistical tools:

A. Percentage - this was used to describe the relationship of a part to its

whole.

Where:

P= Percentage

F= Frequency

N= Number of Respondents

100=Constant

B. Weighted Mean - Since the items in the questionnaire are the options with

assigned points, the weighted mean was selected as an appropriate

measure of central tendency.

X= f(X)

Where:

X = Weighted Mean
 25

f(X) = Summation of the product (f) and (X), where (f= frequency of Barangay

Captains responses and (X) weighted scale of each scores.

N = Number of Respondents

The descriptive rating was assigned to the value as follows:

4 Most effective

3 Moderately effective

2 Least Effective

1 Not Effective

The mean scale was attained by multiplying the frequency of the

Barangay Captain’s responses with the scale value, the products were added

and the sum as the total value was divided by the number of the respondents,

the quotient was the mean scale value.

The mean scale was interpreted as follows:
