This study examined the legislative capabilities and performance of the Sangguniang Barangay (barangay councils) in Bacnotan, La Union, focusing on their ordinance- and resolution-making functions under the Local Government Code of 1991.Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected through surveys, documentary analysis, and informal interviews with Punong Barangays, Barangay Kagawads, and SK Chairpersons from all 47 barangays via total enumeration. Key findings showed that Sangguniang Barangay members had a moderate level of legislative capability in drafting and technical aspects, with Punong Barangays and Kagawads scoring higher in procedural knowledge than SK Chairpersons. Most barangays showed high effectiveness in enacting ordinances, though resolution adoption rates varied. Legislative measures largely centered on economic development and public order. Challenges encountered included limited access to computers and internet, insufficient technical skills, and inadequate budget support. The study recommended capacity-building strategies such as targeted training, improved digital resource access, and enhanced technical assistance from the municipal government to strengthen barangay legislative performance.

This study presents the awareness, access, and satisfaction on Public Employment Service Office (PESO) services in the Fourth-Class Municipalities of La Union. It determined the respondent’s profile, awareness, access, and level of satisfaction on PESO services. The profile, awareness, and access of the respondents was analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. To determine the level of satisfaction, median was used. Findings revealed that the residents were composed of 15-39 years old, dominated by male, majority were married, many were high school graduates, great majority were unemployed, many were employed, and many of them received a salary rate below 13,000 pesos. Respondents were aware of the services offered by PESO. Access to services was lower than the awareness of the respondents. Satisfaction in all services yielded a median score of 5, interpreted as very satisfied. Significant differences in awareness, access and satisfaction with PESO services were found across various profile variables. The results may serve as a guide for local government units and PESO personnel in enhancing and aligning employment programs to more effectively address the needs of different sectors within the community.
Digital literacy of barangays in First-Class Municipalities of District I in La Union:
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2026-01) Barroga, Jhenny Rose C.; Barrozo, Nicole F.; Bermudez, Jasmin S.; Borillo, Shaina Aizle T.; Garcia, Justine Gaile F.; Bayani, Keneth G.; Quinitip, Tiffany Ruth R.; Legaspi, Annaliza B.; Galleta, Darwin T.; Torres, Doreen A.
The digital technologies significantly influenced and reshaped the digital literacy of barangay officials in District 1, La Union. The availability of ICT resources was assessed, the digital literacy levels of 157 barangay secretaries were evaluated across six areas, and the digital challenges faced were identified. The findings showed barangays had laptops and office software, but there were still problems like slow internet access and no external storage. The digital literacy levels of the respondents were from "Competent" to "Proficient." A training program was then created based on the results, with the "novice to proficient" range being the primary basis of the program's development. The study points to the fact that the granting of the proper digital skills to the barangay secretaries is the main factor to raise the standard of public service delivery, transparency, and support inclusive governance in the national and global digital transformation goals.
