The study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of Project Blue-Rizal Barangayan para sa Bawat Bata Bumabasa in public secondary schools in Baras Sub-Office during  the School Year 2021-2022. The study revealed that Project Blue-Rizal Barangayan Para sa Bawat Bata Bumabasa  is much implemented as perceived by the two groups of respondents with respect to project advocacy, reading materials, reading assessment and school and community partnership. On the other hand, significant difference exists when teachers are grouped according to their civil status and length of service with respect to project advocacy and reading materials and when reading-volunteers are grouped according to their occupation and monthly family income with respect to the different aspects. The problems encountered are moderately serious for teachers and less serious for the reading volunteers and both of them noticed that having lack of fund is the top problem. The study concluded that teachers and reading volunteers have the same views towards the implementation of Project Blue Rizal - Barangayan Para sa Bawat Bata Bumabasa. The study recommended that School administrators may give priority to the problems encountered by teachers and reading volunteers in the implementation of Project Blue Rizal – Barangayan Para sa Bawat Bata Bumabasa; School administrators may organize general parent meeting to discuss problems affecting their children’s performance and lack of interest in learning; Schools administrators may tap sponsors to provide the needed reading materials to further enhance the reading performance of students; Teachers and reading volunteers may collaborate in monitoring the materials used in the program; and  The proposed action plan is recommended for implementation. Similar studies along this area using other variables may be conducted.
