BARANGAY OUTREACH PROGRAM | KATARUNGANG PAMBARANGAY LAW
“An award becomes meaningful when its purpose reaches the people.”
Last Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM, the Barangay Outreach Program on the Katarungang Pambarangay Law was successfully conducted at the Barangay Hall of Kinabranan Zone 1, Allen, Northern Samar.
The activity was spearheaded by the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) Allen, in coordination with the Barangay Local Government Unit of Kinabranan Zone 1.
The program featured Atty. Aljun Diaz as Resource Speaker, with the participation of Carolyn Calixtro and Atty. Maria Golda S. Ballesta of PAO, together with the Barangay Officials and members of the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Kinabranan Zone 1 led by Punong Barangay Luz Jamoralin.
The outreach program aimed to introduce and explain the Katarungang Pambarangay Law in the simplest and most understandable way, particularly its purpose, proper proceedings, the roles and responsibilities of the Lupon, and the step-by-step process of filing and resolving complaints at the barangay level. A flowchart was also presented to help community members clearly understand where and how to begin when seeking barangay justice.
More than simply conducting an activity, this initiative reflects our commitment to making justice accessible, understandable, and closer to the people.
As a recipient of the Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Awards (LTIA) at both the Municipal and Provincial Levels, we believe that recognition should not end with a plaque or an award. It must translate into meaningful service and greater awareness among our constituents.
For us, there is little value in receiving an award if the people we serve do not fully understand what Katarungang Pambarangay is, how it works, and what their rights are under the law.
This outreach is therefore our way of giving greater meaning to our LTIA recognition by sharing knowledge, empowering our community, strengthening the Lupon system, and ensuring that every resident of Barangay Kinabranan Zone 1 understands their right to accessible and peaceful barangay justice.
Justice is more meaningful when people understand it.
Service is more valuable when people feel it.
And an award is more significant when it inspires us to serve better.
Thank you to the Public Attorney’s Office – Allen, our resource speaker Atty. Aljun Diaz, Barangay Officials, Lupong Tagapamayapa members, 4ps Members, Senior Citizens of Kinabranan zone 1 and everyone who made this meaningful activity possible.
