Digital Barangay: Ayos Lomboy’s Web-based Management and Information System

Barangays, the smallest administrative units in the Philippines, face persistent challenges due to outdated manual processes, inefficient record-keeping, and fragmented data systems. These limitations hinder effective governance and delay essential services like issuing certifications and clearances. To address these issues, this study developed Webyu, a web-based Barangay Information Management System for Barangay Yuson, designed to automate workflows, centralize data, and improve service delivery in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 and 11 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Sustainable Cities and Communities). Employing a quantitative descriptive-developmental methodology, the study utilized the Scrum framework to guide system development through iterative phases: Planning, Requirements Gathering, Design and Prototyping, Software Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance. Technical quality was rigorously assessed using ISO 25010 standards, evaluating functionality, performance efficiency, usability, security, and other critical attributes. User acceptance was measured via the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), focusing on perceived usefulness, ease of use, attitude toward adoption, and behavioral intention. Data were collected from 75 respondents, including IT professionals, students, and Barangay Yuson residents, through structured surveys and hands-on system demonstrations. Results demonstrated exceptional performance across all ISO 25010 criteria (Grand Mean = 4.62), with particularly high scores in maintainability (4.76) and security (4.65), confirming the system’s robustness and adaptability. TAM evaluations revealed strong user acceptance (Grand Mean = 4.74), with perceived usefulness (4.78) and ease of use (4.75) as key drivers of adoption. The system successfully streamlined administrative tasks, reduced processing times, and enhanced data accessibility for both barangay officials and residents. These findings highlight the transformative potential of ICT-driven solutions in local governance, offering a scalable model for barangays seeking to modernize operations. The study contributes to the discourse on e-governance by demonstrating how tailored digital tools can address systemic inefficiencies while advancing sustainable development goals. Future research should investigate long-term impacts on governance efficiency, transparency, and community engagement.
