𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐱𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐏 led an engaging discussion with the 27 Barangays of Ramon Magsaysay about the fundamentals of Katarungang Pambarangay Law, Rules on Venue, Process Flow and Timelines, and the Lupon Tagapamayapa Incentives and Awards. CLGOO Machutes also shared the best practices on handling disputes by Barangay Olingan, a three-time LTIA Regional Awardee.
Katarungang Pambarangay (KP), commonly called the Barangay Justice System, is a community-based mechanism for resolving disputes swiftly, inexpensively, and amicably at the barangay level. It rests on the idea that many conflicts—especially minor civil disputes and less serious criminal offenses—are best settled by neighbors, not courts.
