Abstract
In every barangay or village, as mandated by Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991, there shall be a creation of “Lupong Tagapamayapa,” which refers to as “Lupon” who shall be responsible for handling contentions between parties, in accordance with the Katarungang Pambarangay Law. The study evaluates the appointed members of Katarungang Pambarangay on their competency level by analyzing their understanding of the Katarungang Pambarangay Handbook of 2014. Mixed method research was applied to provide a rich and in-depth output of the study. The initial presumption suggests that the competence of Lupon members may be lacking in delivering a quality Barangay Justice System based on observed indicators.
