behind this catching phrase that is used to associate with transacting business with the
help of easier and faster method of delivering services. People nowadays seems to like
this kind of method to acquire different kinds of services, may it be for personal use or for
other purposes. However, despite this development in business, this kind of method is
most likely not applicable to use for delivering basic services to reach the public.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
villages in our country, called Barangays. The name barangay originated from a Malay
word balangay, which means sailboat – a mode of transportation that is used by the
natives to travel. The Spaniards called these independent villages in our country as
barrios, until former President Ferdinand Marcos revived the concept of barangays during
The barangay is the smallest local government unit in the Philippines, but unknown
to many, it is also one of the most vital sector in the government. It is in barangays where
planning for the national development programs starts since barangay officials are the
closest government officials to the people. The government feels the pulse of the people
with the help of barangays, it is the level closest to the people in terms of access and
proximity.
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides the basis for all development efforts that

The main rationale of this study is to contribute to the efforts of the government on
helping the local government units in the delivery of basic services to the public by
evaluating the effectiveness of the Barangay Development Plan that is provided under
the Local Government Code of 1991. Hence, the research problem will be:
Research Problem:
1. How effective is the Barangay Development Plan in delivering the following basic
1.3.2 beautification
1.5 maintenance of Barangay roads and bridges and water supply system
2. To ascertain the awareness of the residents of Barangay 628 and Barangay 630
This chapter discusses the methodology that the researchers will use, specifically:
the research design, research instruments, units of analysis and sampling, and data
collection procedure.
Research Design
The researchers will use the qualitative research design. Qualitative research is
especially effective in obtaining culturally specific information about the values, opinions,
behaviors, and social contexts of such population. This design is picture-perfect for
(barangay 628 and 630) on delivering their basic services. It provides information about
the “human” side of an issue – that is, the often-contradictory behaviors, beliefs, opinions,
that involves “tacking” back and forth between the different components of the design,
assessing their implications for one another. It does not depend on a specific sequence
of steps. The data that will be gathered will be examined and analyzed to determine their
of interest from research subjects. The researchers will use survey questionnaires and
interview to gather data. There will be survey questionnaires that will be given to
people and collecting information from some of them to gain insight into what the entire
group does or thinks. (Hox, et.al., 2008) The questionnaire will somehow ask open-ended
questions to respondents related to basic delivery of services of both barangays and their
knowledge about the ‘barangay development plan’. On the other hand, the researchers
will also conduct a semi-structured interview to barangay officials of the two barangays to
gather data needed to suffice the needs of the paper. A semi-structured interview will
involve many open-ended questions, although they may also contain some closed
questions.
Units of Analysis
The selection of respondents will be based on: age and number of years of
years old / above and a resident of barangay 628 and 630 from year 2013 up to present.
Sample Size
researchers will use the Slovin's Formula n=N/1+Ne2. Given that n=sample size, N=No.
Sampling Procedure
sampling. Each individual or resident of both barangays have the possibility to undergo
and answer the survey questionnaire. Given the fact that the topic is all about ‘evaluating
services’, it’s understandable that these residents of both barangays, at least have the
knowledge about these plans or projects. Moreover, official/s of the barangay who is/are
Since the researchers decided to use the qualitative research method, the
By following the techniques to be used, the researchers believe that the questions
stated on the first chapter will be answered. These methods are: Survey questionnaires

2. Interviews
The officials of each barangay will be interviewed by the researchers. They will
be asked about their knowledge about the barangay development plan and how it is
