Barangay Resident Record Management and Certificate Issuance System
Manual Method and Problems Encountered
This study focuses on the records management system of the said Barangay. The Barangay treasurer/secretary is the one who performs permits, certificates transactions community tax, business taxes, and other fees. They are also in charge of keeping tracks of the records, capture and maintain up-to-date records of all issuance transactions and daily, monthly, yearly reports.

They manually handled transactions daily; specially get Barangay clearance, certification, cedula and permits. Before the accomplishment of the task the constituents who request must undergo a long process .Same through with storing of files, updating, accessing of data and recording the expenses, they used folders and log of papers for its storage. The staff encountered difficulties and long procedure in retrieving, recording, computing and processing of financial and accounting data.
Thus, the researchers proposed Barangay the records management system that will give safer storage of financial records, fast retrieval of files, maintains reliability and accuracy, and faster tracking of files. Proposing software for the records management system is very useful to the staff, from hand written records and manual issuing of barangay clearance and certificates, as well as the income and expenses reports into an automated processing system.
The recommended system will give safer storage of financial records, fast retrieval of files, maintains reliability and accuracy, and faster tracking of files. Proposing software for the accounting system is very useful to the staff, from hand written records and manual issuing of barangay clearance and certificates, as well as the income and expenses reports into an automated processing system.
Project Context
The system focused only the BARANGAY RESIDENT RECORD MANAGEMENT AND CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE SYSTEM. In managing the resident’s records and issuing certificates. To let go the manual process in the manual process in the Barangay Hall such us, handwritten document keeping records inside the drawer, that trends to use some record and unorganized file. And when it comes in clearances they used folder to store the file which can cause of losing record. Because of their manual system, they had a slow service instead of using computerized on recording the files.
The proposed system will reduced the hard and longtime procedure and accessing files and records they keep and store. It will be a great help for them to lessen their work especially with transactional that the citizen of the said community will might need.
