Barangay is the smallest administrative unit. Its not only a partner in governance, but also all government functions start in the barangay. It is of Spanish origin "barrio", it means a small community and later the natives call it "balangay". And in the ancient time, balangays were already governed by whatever laws in their councils. Later barangay was codified into a Local Government Code. And the modern barangay is headed by elected officials ( Bry Captains and Councelors).

Whatever Laws, Acts, projects of the national government, they are made for the benefit of the barangay. So as the barangay may propose a project and demands for higher government officials to approve. National government offices are useless without the barangays and you can not be a leader without stretching into where the basic smallest unit you will be leading... and that is the Barangay.

A barangay (Tagalog: barangay, [ˈbaraŋgaj]), also known by its former Spanish adopted name, the barrio, is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. Municipalities and cities are composed of barangays. In place names barangay is sometimes abbreviated as "Brgy" or "Bgy". As of December 31, 2006 there are a total of 41,995 barangays throughout the Philippines.[1]

The term barangay and its structure in the modern context was conceived during the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the old barrios and municipal councils. The barangays were eventually codified under the 1991 Local Government Code.

Governance relates to decisions that define expectations, grant power, or verify performance. It consists either of a separate process or of a specific part of management or leadership processes. Sometimes people set up a government to administer these processes and systems.

In the case of a business or of a non-profit organization, governance relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, processes and decision-rights for a given area of responsibility.

While a barangay is the smallest unit oof government, it is still part of government as a local government unit. Since it is in charge of governance of the affairs of the barangay, through elected barangay officials and contributes to the overall governance of the country, it is therefore not only a partner in governance but is in fact an important component of national governance.

Because laws are being followed up and being understood by the people in it, because some of the time there are laws that are confusing because Spanish used to burn some of the information about these laws that we are talking about, but when we talk about barangay it is a type of government where it is being composed of 30-100 families based on my understanding, barangay can be effective in some ways............

Effectiveness

(1) People Follow the Rules

(2) Datu are responsible and an effective leader as well

(3) Every slave does have obligations as being commanded by their masters.

(4) Laws are truly being followed and a must.
