IT has always been a source of pride for us in theDepartment of the Interior and Local
Government tobear witness to outstanding initiatives of partners inlocal governance. We are
therefore pleased toacknowledge the latest publication of the Philippines-Canada Local
Government Support Program (LGSP),
Katarungang Pambarangay: A Handbook
.Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the 1991Local Government Code, gives barangays
themandate to enforce peace and order and providesupport for the effective enforcement of
humanrights and justice. Decentralization has facilitated therecognition of the
Katarungang Pambarangay
orBarangay Justice System as an alternative venue forthe resolution of disputes. The
challenge facing localgovernments now is to maximize and harness the
katarungang pambarangay
as one of the mostvaluable mechanisms available in administering justice, advancing human
rights protection andresolving and/or mediating conflict at the barangaylevel through nonadversarial means.
Katarungang Pambarangay: A Handbook
provides local governments an easy-to-use tool withwhich to take up this challenge. It fills
the need toincrease the awareness and understanding of
katarungang pambarangay
and its value as anempowering and alternative tool for the resolution of community and
family disputes at the barangaylevel. With the fast-evolving demand for access to justice,
there is a need to utilize this mechanismmore strategically and proactively as a way topromote peace
at the grassroots. The
Punong Barangay
(Barangay Heads), members of the
Lupong Tagapamayapa
(Peace Council) and communities will

benefit greatly from this publication. Moreover,development workers, the academe and nongovernmental and peoples organizations will alsofind this handbook useful in their work on
barangay justice.This undertaking complements the efforts of theDILG to popularize and
mainstream governanceknowledge products through the Local GovernmentAcademy and the agencys
regional learning centers.The handbook provides a means for improvedaccess to dispute
resolutions and will go a long waytowards enhancing knowledge on and
strengtheningbarangay governance and justice. The DILG,therefore, congratulates the
Philippines-Canada LocalGovernment Support Program for its commitmentand meaningful
contributions to promotingexcellence in barangay governance as an integralelement of good,
responsive and accountable localgovernance.

KATARUNGANG Pambarangay: A Handbook
is thelatest publication of the Philippines-Canada LocalGovernment Support Program (LGSP) as
part of itsmandate to mainstream effective and responsivebarangay governance.Republic Act 7160 or
the Local Government Codeof 1991 expanded the scope and powers of the
Katarungang Pambarangay
or the Barangay JusticeSystem designed not merely to decongest the courtsof cases but to
address
inequalities
in
access
to justice,
particularly
experienced
by
marginalizedcommunities. The barangays, being the basicpolitical unit in the country, is in the
most strategicposition to facilitate resolution or mediation of community and family disputes,
alongside itsmandate to deliver basic services.In empowering local government units in
WesternVisayas and Mindanao, LGSP has designed initiativesthat strengthen barangay
governance, includingenhancing and mainstreaming the use of and accessto the barangay
justice system. The
Katarungang Pambarangay: A Handbook
was designed to providea user-friendly, easy to read and simple tool topromote the knowledge of
the
katarungang pambarangay

as an effective alternative mechanismfor dispute resolution.This handbook aims to increase

theunderstanding of the
Punong Barangays
(barangayheads) and members of the
Lupong Tagapamayapa
(Barangay Peace Council) on the processes andprocedures of the barangay justice system to
enablethem to maximize its use in their communities. It isalso intended to provide a
practical overview for the

regardingthe role and benefits of the

in their lives.By doing so, LGSP hopes that it would somehowmake a difference in peoples lives
by contributing toa better understanding and strategic administrationof the barangay justice
system.

is a modest contributionto creating greater awareness of an alternative towhat can be an elitist and
complex legal system,often characterized by an arduous legal process. Thispublication is a

way to do so.The Philippines-Canada Local GovernmentSupport Program

THE
Katarungang Pambarangay
or Barangay JusticeSystem is a community-based dispute settlementmechanism that is
administered by the basic politicalunit of the country, the
barangay
. As a community-based mechanism for dispute resolution, it coversdisputes between
members of the same community(generally, same city/municipality) and involves the

Punong Barangay
and other members of thecommunities (the
Lupon
members) as intermediaries(mediators, conciliators, and, sometimes,arbitrators).The
establishment and operation of the Barangay Justice System is mandated by Republic Act
No. 7160or the Local Government Code of 1991. Prior to thislaw, however, the establishment of
the Barangay Justice System had been covered by PresidentialDecree 1508 in 1978 and Batas
Pambansa Blg. 337or the 1983 Local Government Code.When PD 1508 first decreed the
setting up of theBarangay Justice System, the law had the followingobjectives:

To promote the speedy administration of justice

To minimize the indiscriminate filing of casesin courts

To minimize the congestion of court docketsand thereby enhance the quality of justicedispensed
by the courts

To perpetuate and recognize the time-honoredtradition of amicably settling disputes at

thecommunity level

2
A
H A N D B O O K
These same objectives are stated in the
Katarungang Pambarangay
Rules that werepromulgated by the Department of Justice on June 1,1992, pursuant to the
mandate of the LocalGovernment Code. These rules serve as theimplementing rules for the
provisions of the LocalGovernment Code on the establishment,administration, and operation
of the Barangay JusticeSystem.Under the Barangay Justice System, the mainstrategy for
settling disputes is to provide a venuefor the disputing parties to search for a solution thatis
mutually acceptable. Hence, the primary role of the system is not to decide disputes and
impose asolution on the parties but to assist the parties indiscussing the possible amicable
settlement of theirdisputes. The
Punong Barangay
and the communityconciliators (
Lupon
members) do not act as judges oradjudicators of disputes but as facilitators for thedisputing
parties discussion of possible solutions.For this reason, the personal appearance andparticipation of
the disputing parties is necessary,while the non-appearance of the parties will havecorresponding
sanctions. Also because of the needfor the disputing parties personal participation in
theconciliation proceedings, disputes involving non-natural persons likecorporations are
notsubject to theconciliationproceedings of theBarangay JusticeSystem.The Barangay Justice
Systemprovides analternative mode fordispute resolution tothe costly and lengthyprocess of
settling
Simply put, theBarangay JusticeSystem provides afriendly, inexpensive,and speedy
forum forthe settlement of disputes where theparties can freelyexplore options
foramicably resolvingtheir disputes withoutresorting to thecourts.

disputes in regular courts. Instead of going throughthe very technical procedure of filing
formalpleadings and presenting evidence in courts, theparties of a dispute are given the
opportunity to tryto talk to each other and resolve their disputesamicably. The technical
processes and rules that areusually applied in court proceedings are not applied.Filing a case in
court, or defending oneself againstsuch a case,would necessarilyentail the servicesof
lawyers. In theBarangay JusticeSystem, however,the parties do notneed to secure theservices
of lawyers. In fact,the law prohibitsthe participationof lawyers in theconciliation proceedings.
While cases that are triedin courts generally take years to be resolved, casesthat go through
the Barangay Justice System wouldgenerally take only a few weeks.Simply put, the Barangay
Justice System providesa friendly, inexpensive, and speedy forum for thesettlement of disputes
where the parties can freelyexplore options for amicably resolving their disputeswithout
resorting to the courts.On the issue of access to justice, the Barangay Justice System provides
an accessible mechanism forresolving the justice issues of the poor.In some areas where the courts are
inaccessible,both because of location and because of theprohibitive costs of litigation, the
Barangay JusticeSystem, with all its limitations, can be the only venuethat the poor can
avail of for the resolution of theirdisputes.

H A N D B O O K
The Barangay Justice System is also envisioned tocomplement the courts in administering
justice. Forcases that are covered by the Barangay JusticeSystem, it is compulsory for the

parties to gothrough the Barangay Justice System proceedingsfirst before going to court. Failure to do so
wouldmean the dismissal of the parties claim orcounterclaim. It is only when the Barangay
JusticeSystem has failed to resolve the dispute that theparties will be allowed to bring their
case to court.The Supreme Court issued AdministrativeCircular No. 14-93 on July 15, 1993
directing thecourts to ensure compliance with the requirement of prior recourse to the
Barangay Justice as a conditionfor filing a complaint in court for cases that arecovered by
the system.With more disputing parties settling theirdisputes at the community level, it is
expected thatthe filing of cases between members of the samecommunity will be minimized.
This, in turn, will helpreduce the congestion of the courts dockets and,hopefully, improve the
efficiency and quality of thecourts dispensation of justice. The Barangay Justicesystem is, thus,
both an alternative andcomplementary mode of resolution to the courtsystem.The Barangay
Justice System maximizes the useof time-honored traditions and practices of communities in
settling disputes betweencommunity members. Filipinos traditionally resort tothe help of older
members of the family, communityelders, or tribe leaders in resolving disputes betweenmembers
of the same family or community. This isthe common practice that is recognized andformalized by
the Barangay Justice System. In lieu of family members, community elders, or tribe
leaders,the Barangay Justice System uses the
Punong Barangay
and the
Lupon
Members, who areappointed from the respected members of the
5
K A T A R U N G A N G
P A M B A R A N G A Y
community. In recognition of traditional customarypractices in some indigenous communities, the
lawon the Barangay Justice System provides that incommunities that have distinct
traditional practicesof settling disputes, the customs and traditions of the indigenous cultural
communities shall beapplied. Thus, local systems of settling disputesthrough their councils of
datus
or elders arerecognized and followed with the same force andeffect as the procedure laid down in
the law.The strength of the Barangay Justice System liesin the fact that it is based in the
community itself,and is administered by community members usingtraditional practices in
dispute resolution. With thisset-up, the disputing parties are expected to be
morecomfortable in discussing their problems and inexploring solutions to the disputes. It is
likewiseexpected that the community-based set-up of theBarangay Justice System will
ensure that the partieswill honor the amicable settlement that was agreedupon. Ultimately, the
Barangay Justice System isenvisioned to live up to its name. It is expected toensure the
dispensation of justice at the grassrootslevel.The first part of the handbook discusses
theactual processes of the
Katarungang Pambarangay
(KP). The second part deals with the benefits,incentives and awards of the system. The
Annexescontains samples of al the KP forms that are used inthe process, for reference.
The Supreme Court issued AdministrativeCircular No. 14-93 on July 15, 1993
directing thecourts to ensure compliance with therequirement of prior recourse to
the BarangayJustice as a condition for filing a complaint incourt for cases that are
covered by the system.

This handbook has also been translated to threePhilippine dialects, namely

and
Ilonggo
, to facilitate greater use and understandingof the system at the community level. Also,
ahandbook on the Barangay Justice System in ARMM isbeing developed, which takes a look
at the existingindigenous/traditional mechanisms of dispensing justice in the Muslim and
