VI. Abstract:
This extension project on “Ladderized Training Community-Based Law
Enforcement and Basic Skills for Barangay Tanod and Officials in Barangay Nijaga,
Calbayog City” is one of the extension projects of the College of Criminal Justice and
Sciences implemented particularly under the Criminology program. This is in response
to the need for barangay officials on Community-Based Law Enforcement and Basic
Skills.
The project was implemented to help the Barangay officials and Tanod members
understand the do’s and don’ts during their encounter with violators of policies and
ordinances that may exist in their own area of responsibility. Training in community-
based law enforcement and basic disarming techniques were given to the participants.
Local officials of Barangay Nijaga and the participants were very much thankful that a

project like this was extended by the University, and similar programs are expected for
future improvement of local peace and order situation.
VII. Rationale:
The need for security of lives and property is one of the basic needs of man. It is
inherent among human beings to seek security and protection from danger. In response
to this need, the government organized the police force to maintain public order and
safety. However, with the increase in population, police activities became numerous and
diversified to such an extent that the Philippine National Police and the Department of
Interior and Local Government tapped the Involvement of the community in policing
(Manwong, 2010). At present, every community has its own set of barangay tanod who
serve as guardians of public safety.
It has been observed, however, that most of those selected to serve as barangay
tanod have no adequate training to prepare them for the responsibility of providing
security and safety of the constituents. It is for this reason that this proposal to conduct
this Basic Defense Tactics Training was conceived.
The basic knowledge on Community-Based Law Enforcement Implementation
and skills training in defense tactics for barangay tanods had been conducted previously
to selected barangays in Calbayog. Thus, this extension project of Bachelor of Science
in Criminology is submitted for approval to continually implement and extend to
Barangay Nijaga, Calbayog City as it was conceived upon request of the barangay
officials, the need to train the barangay tanod members and officials.
VIII. Objectives
At the end of the series of trainings, the following are expected:
1. 80% of barangay tanods and barangay officials in Barangay Nijaga
have been trained in community-based law enforcement

2. Improve the different disarming techniques (5 basic disarming
techniques)
IX. Theoretical Framework
The primary law enforcement body of the state is the police. The basic mission-
preserving order by enforcing rules of conduct or laws was the same in ancient
communities as it is today in sophisticated and highly urbanized societies
(Manwong,2010). However, due to the increasing population, the ratio between one
police officer and the number of persons he must protect has also changed if he has to
maintain good police visibility. Local barangay officials are usually tapped to help in
maintaining peace and order in their respective barangays.
As embodied in the Local Government Code of 1991, Sangguniang Barangay
may organize community brigades, barangay tanod, or community service units, as may
be necessary to act as peace officers in the maintenance of public order and safety
(Chanrobles, 2013). To do this responsibility effectively and efficiently, these barangay
volunteers should be trained with the basic defense skills for their own protection too.
Basic martial arts training according to Corpuz (2011), will help the barangay
tanod members meet the challenges of their responsibilities with a greater sense of
personal confidence. It will also teach them self-defense tactics so they would be able to
manage physical threatening situations in their locality and help them prepare for
physical confrontations if such cannot be avoided. To quote a popular martial arts
maxim, “To win 100 victories in 100 battles is not the greatest skill, to subdue the enemy
without fighting is the highest skill (Borkowski, 2000). This maxim provided the
anchorage for this project.

XI. Highlights of Implementation/Accomplishments
It was on February 15, 2021, when the barangay captain, Hon. Mercy Magdalena
J. Amoto sent a formal letter addressed to the university president to ask assistance
through a capacity building activity for the Baragay Tanod members in terms of new
knowledge and technical skills. The letter was then forwarded to the college for
immediate action.

The extension project was conceptualized by the BS Criminology faculty and was
presented to the office of extension services and the extension program was approved
for implementation. The approved duration for the project was April 2021 to September
2022. However, due to the pandemic restrictions specifically on the limited face to face
interactions and strict implementation of social distancing, the activities were
rescheduled for some time.
It was November 20, 2021 when the proponents went to Barangay Nijaga to
present their proposal for extension during the monthly session of barangay council,
and at the same time to inform and coordinate the local officials with regards to the
extension project. Signing of MOA was likewise realized during this meeting. Schedule
of activities was also set.
On the following year, the activities commenced. The first session with
participants was on March 12-13, 2022 and was attended by 8 women and 12 men. The
topic focused on the Salient Features of Local Government Code of 1991 as discussed
by Mr. Edwin Irene for morning session and Republic Act no. 876 (The Arbitration Law)
and Presidential Decree No. 1508 (Establishing a System of Amicably Settling Dispute
at the Barangay Level) were discussed by Dr. Armando A. Alviola for afternoon session.
The activity was conducted in the Barangay Nijaga covered court.
Another activity was held on March 27, 2022 with 36 (13 women and 23 men)
participants. It was when Mr. Leandro T. Cobacha discussed RA 10630 (An Act
Strengthening the Juvenile Justice System in the Philippines, amending for the Purpose
of Republic Act No. 9344) for morning session and RA 9262- Anti-VAWC Act were
discussed by EnP. Rosalina L. Tarrayo for afternoon session in the same venue.
Mr. Jeff Yriga was invited as the guest trainer on May 24, 2022, when he
conducted the hands-on training on Martial Arts and Arnis skills. It was a whole day

interactive activity attended by 20 (8 women and 12 men) participants including
Barangay Tanods, barangay officials, and other faculty members.
The last activity was a two-day session held on September 3 and 4, 2022. A
lecture session about RA 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Abuse,
Exploitation and Discrimination Act was discussed by Ms. Mellanie T. Magdaraog. On
the last day, September 4, 2022, RA 10121 (The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management System) was discussed by Mr. Joel C. Tañega. After which, the
culminating program was held in the same venue, the Barangay Nijaga covered court.
The program was participated by the BS Criminology faculty, the barangay officials,
participants of the training, and other faculty of the college. This final activity was
documented by the faculty and students of the BS Development Communication
program.
Below is the summary of accomplishments based on the objectives.

As indicated in Table 2 above, the project team-initiated series of capacity
building activities to improve the skills of both men and women barangay tanod
members, lupon tagapamayapa, and officials of Barangay Nijaga. The data showed
that, out of the 40 target participants, about 36 or 90 % of the target participants
attended the training. However, only 20 or 50% of these participants are consistent in
the attendance. Furthermore, among these 20 participants, 8 are women and 12 are
men.
Objective #2. Improve the different disarming techniques (5 basic disarming

techniques)
Through the training, participants gained knowledge and skills on disarming

techniques. During the conduct of interview by the project team, the participants
reported the advantages they learn from the training as follows.
 They developed self-confidence as they perform their duty as
barangay tanod.
 As they practice, they can have full body workout.
 It also Increased their physical flexibility.
 From those basic techniques they learned, they develop skills in
self defense.
 They also developed self-discipline.
XII. Monitoring and Evaluation Results
 Weekly monitoring of activities/skills had been performed by the team
through phone call.
 An evaluation of the activity by the trainees was conducted right after
the training session.
 Preparation and submission of the terminal report.
XIII. Summary and Conclusion:

Project
Telefax: (055) 2093657
The program was implemented successfully. Objectives were achieved
considering at least 20 members of the barangay council members participated in all the
activities. The basic knowledge of important laws, and skills they acquire in disarming
techniques, and their experience on hands-on training in martial arts and arnis will
enable them to improve peace and order in their area of responsibility.

“expected number of participants” maybe because of the incomplete attendance or
sometimes tardiness of participants. All indicators have very satisfactory rating, with an
overall rating of 3.9 which indicated the success of the program.
XIV. Implications and Recommendations

Project
Telefax: (055) 2093657
The extension program brought varied experiences both to the implementers and
partner. Since the objectives of the program were carried out, the implementers are
hopeful and willing to continuously implement the same program to other barangays to
give the opportunity of sharing knowledge and skills to more target beneficiaries.
On the other side, since the proponents of the program tapped the service of
martial arts expert personnel for the conduct of hands-on training and demonstration
considering that the proponents do not have enough trainings related to martial arts, it is
recommended that the University will send the proponents to seminars/trainings on
martial arts so that in the future they will be the ones to conduct the drills.
Regarding the participants’ attendance, more encouragement and motivation on the
of side of barangay officials is needed to be able to sustain up to the last session. The
trainers should also emphasize at the start the benefits the participants could get from
the trainings. They may also consider coming up with more effective strategies to
sustain attendance of the participants.
