The PDCA may be initiated at any stage of the process by assessing the
system’s current performance (Check stage) using applicable requirements of
the ISO 9001:2015 QMS on performance evaluation. The results of these
evaluations are fed into the PDCA cycle’s Act stage where the Barangay

stage and develops objectives, targets and actions to address risks and
opportunities. The needs and expectations of citizens and other relevant

by the Barangay wherein the results are captured prior to planning. At the Do
stage, objectives and planned actions are communicated throughout the
Barangay. New processes or changes to existing processes are implemented
to ensure that agreed objectives are met.

7.2. Financial Management

Through the Local Government Code, the national government devolved to


local governments, the delivery of basic services by giving Barangays their
share of the national income and the authority to generate their own revenues
from various sources (e.g. local taxes and fees, Internal Revenue Allotment,
grants, loans).

For Barangays to discharge these fiscal, planning and regulatory powers and
functions resulting from decentralization, there should be an accountable,
efficient and dynamic structure and operating mechanism that will meet the
priority needs and service requirements of its communities.

Public Financial Management is an integral part of such structure and


operating mechanism as it provides the general framework for:

1. generating revenues;
2. allocating resources; and, 
3. managing expenditures.

The financial management in the Barangay encompasses budgeting,


accounting, auditing, cash management, management of public debt, revenue
generation and public reporting on public sector financial operations.

Reference: Local Government Code of 1991

7.3. Infrastructure and Environment Management

The Barangay, as a representative of its residents, the inhabitants within its


territory is endowed with powers and resources necessary for its efficient and
effective governance and to deliver basic services and facilities to enable its
inhabitants to develop and be self-reliant communities. As such, the Barangay
Document Code: BRGYCode-QM
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF BARCELONA
Effectivity Date: MM.DD.YEAR
BRGY. CAGANG
Revision No: X

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL Page 19 of 24

is expected to maintain the necessary infrastructure that supports the efficient


and consistent provision and delivery of products and services.

Planning for the provision and maintenance of the necessary infrastructures is


carried out taking into account the requirements of the processes, the
personnel and officers of the Barangays and its residents.

Infrastructure management also covers management of infrastructure projects


by the private sector which is governed by Republic Act No. 6957 and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations.

The local government maintains the necessary infrastructure that supports

achieving its vision and objectives. Among these infrastructure are:

 waste collection and disposal
 schools
 public lighting
 sport areas

interested parties, as well as, identification and mitigation of associated risks,

7.4. ICT Management

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a necessary enabler of


reforms to the ways in which public administrations work. The use of ICT to
generate improvements in services has been a primary driver for government
activity, and has given a major boost to customer focused, seamless services,
which aim to transcend the structure of public administrations. 

With the increasing reliance of government activities to the ICTs, the


Barangay is expected to manage and maintain the ICTs which are necessary
in the efficient and consistent delivery of its services. 

To guarantee the smooth planning, provision, management and maintenance


of the ICT, the Barangay ensures that organizational and regulatory
frameworks for managing the ICT are in place. 

7.5. Procurement Management

Procurement Management covers all procurement activities of the LGU. This


process is governed by Republic Act No. 8194 or the Government

deliberation of the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC).

office in the Barangay.

Control of Externally Provided Processes/Services

The Barangay performs its operational processes with the support from
external providers such as maintenance services, security services, and
consultancy services, among others. The Barangay also maintains the
responsibility for ensuring that the expected outputs of these external
providers are in accordance with the requirements of the Barangay and the
National Government. The Office of the Barangay Chairman constantly
communicates with the key personnel of these service providers. Information
needed by the service providers are provided timely, completely and
accurately to ensure a smooth flow of the operation.

Other than the routine monitoring and supervision of the tasks assigned to the
external provider, the local government conducts periodical evaluation on their
performance.

 protected to ensure its confidentiality, integrity and prevention of


possible misuse or loss; and,
 protected during the period of the current local government and is
preserved as an input element for future administrations of the local
government.

Documented information, provided in different media i.e. papers, videos,


pictures and e-copies are controlled to ensure that these are kept up-to-date
and are readily available for use by those who need them. Most of these that
are issued by the local government are considered public documents and
therefore require adequate level of controls.

Internal and external information, which are necessary for the QMS, are
identified, protected and controlled since, these are essential parts of the
knowledge and history of the municipality and its communities. Therefore,
long-term storage and preservation of these information are part of the
municipality’s services.
