Barangay Officials and Governments Need to be EFFECTIVE, RESPONSIVE, ACCOUNTABLE, TRANSPARENT AND COMPLIANT TO LAWS/ ISSUANCES THERE IS A NEED TO MEASURE THEIR PERFORMANCE THE PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT EXPECT, DEMAND A LOT FROM You

THIS IS WHERE BGPMS COMES IN…

The BGPMS is an assessment tool for barangays that measures the effective delivery of services and accomplishments in the performance of their functions as mandated in RA 7160 and other related issuances. WHAT IS THE BARANGAY GOVERNANCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

The 1987 Philippine Constitution in Article X, Section 3, mandates that “Congress shall enact a Local Government Code which shall provide a more responsive and accountable local government structure instituted through a system of decentralization…allocate among the different LGUs their powers, responsibilities, and resources, and provide for the qualifications, elections, appointment and removal, term, salaries, powers and functions and duties of local officials and all other matters relating to the organization and operation of the local units.”

Legal Basis for BGPMS From the 1991 Local Government Code Section 3 (h) “there shall be a continuing mechanism to enhance local autonomy not only by legislative acts but also by administrative and organizational reforms;” “there shall be a continuing mechanism to enhance local autonomy not only by legislative acts but also by administrative and organizational reforms;” Section 3 (m) “the national government shall ensure that decentralization contributes to the continuing improvement of the performance of local government units and the quality of community life”. “the national government shall ensure that decentralization contributes to the continuing improvement of the performance of local government units and the quality of community life”. Sections 16 & 17 define the roles and responsibilities of local authorities that require the development of management tools and approaches to assess the efficiency of the processes and the quality of public service towards efficient and effective governance. define the roles and responsibilities of local authorities that require the development of management tools and approaches to assess the efficiency of the processes and the quality of public service towards efficient and effective governance.
