Abstract
Barangay development requires human participation - their service, activity, and role have positive and negative effects on the community which is affected by the changing climate. The study examined the role and contribution of Barangay Tanod in responding the disaster risk reduction. Mixed methods research includes observation, face-to-face interviews, focus group discussion, and library research. The result shows that Barangay Tanod has a relevant role in barangay development; their service positively affects the barangay and residents, however, the result also showed that there is a low perception of their function. Thus, the recommendations of the study are to provide localized manual and video documentation that will guide in creating a positive narrative and empower the role of Barangay Tanod to the community.
