This study assessed the productivity and performance
of the barangays in the Heritage City of Vigan in terms of the
barangays’ resource requirements, management of resources,
produced goods and services, and outcomes of service delivery. The
descriptive research design was used in the study employing the
input-process-output-outcomes model.
Findings of this study showed that the barangays were strong in
terms of resource requirements which enabled them to produce goods
and services. The barangays were also strong in terms of
management of resources in development planning. They also
showed great potential along fiscal administration, and had a
moderately high capability in organization and management.
However, the barangays appeared to be most wanting in the area of
barangay legislation, but they were strong in community
mobilization and they had strong linkages with POs, NGOs and
educational institutions.
In the delivery of social services, the barangays favored the
maintenance of day care centers. However, the barangays seem to be
weak in the delivery of economic services. They fared well along
providing protective services such as in establishing a Barangay
Disaster Coordinating Council and organizing a group of Barangay
Tanod. In terms of environmental services, the barangays performed
garbage collection and disposal; however, garbage still found their
way in the streets in some barangays. The services delivered had
effected an improved status of the barangays. However, the
barangays are still facing some problems.
