It is important to craft a peacekeeping concept
appropriate to the particular situation of peace and order
in the barangay. Realizing the significance of barangay
peace and order programs, this study was steered to
determine the prevailing peace and order programs and its
extent of implementation in Barangay Poblacion, Buug,
Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. The researchers used a
pre-designed survey questionnaire and distributed them to
99 barangay residents. The distribution was based on
convenience sampling technique and data gathered were
treated with a weighted mean. The results of this study
showed that the residents of Barangay Poblacion, Buug,
Zamboanga Sibugay have “High” sense of safety in their
residence and neighborhood. They also purported that the
peace and order ordinances and programs are well
implemented, garnering “High” score in the overall result.
These implied that the residents feel safe and they likely
benefit from the strong implementation of Peace and
Order programs and ordinances. Thus, it is recommended
that the barangay officials together with all the concerned
personnel including the chief of the barangay enforcers,
the barangay enforcers, and barangay workers shall work
altogether to strengthen the peace and order programs in
the barangay. This shall be done with careful planning and
well–defined strategies within the smallest political unit in
the Philippines, the barangay level.
