Isabela City barangay secretaries undergo coaching in justice administration, conflict resolution

ISABELA CITY (PIA) - The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Isabela City, in collaboration with the local government, recently conducted a coaching session for the city's 45 barangay secretaries to equip them with knowledge and understanding of the Katarungang Pambarangay (KP) processes and Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentive Assessment (LTIA) preparations.

The KP, or barangay justice system, is a crucial component of the Philippine government's efforts to provide accessible and affordable conflict resolution services at the grassroots level. The coaching session aimed to enhance the secretaries' understanding of the KP forms and templates, ensuring that they can effectively support their respective barangay chairpersons and Lupong Tagapamayapa (Peace Council) in maintaining a well-functioning justice system within their communities.

In addition to the KP orientation, the training also focused on preparing the barangay secretaries for the upcoming LTIA, initially scheduled from March 1 to 8. 

The LTIA is a performance-based incentive system designed to motivate and recognize the hard work and dedication of the Lupong Tagapamayapa in settling disputes at the barangay level. The assessment aims to identify outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa who have demonstrated exceptional performance in resolving conflicts and grant them incentives to further encourage their efforts.

City Local Government Operations Officer Arnel O. Alvarez emphasized the importance of capacity building for local government units and stressed that empowering our barangay secretaries with the right knowledge and skills is essential to the efficient functioning of our local governance system. He added that by ensuring they are well-versed in the KP procedures and prepared for the LTIA, they are not only equipping them for success but also contributing to the overall development and peace within the community.

The coaching session concluded with a positive response from the barangay secretaries, who expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge.

This capacity-building initiative is expected to contribute significantly to the improvement of the KP system and the overall performance of the barangay secretaries in Isabela City. (EDT/NDR/PIA BASILAN with reports from DILG - Isabela City)
