The aging world has increased the use of Information Technology, focusing on digital tools in both public and private sectors. Computers help organize and store information, allowing people to complete more tasks efficiently. This trend also improves government services, public management, and community involvement at the barangay level worldwide. This study examined the digital literacy of barangays in Second and Third-Class Municipalities of La Union to provide insights for a community extension program. It focused on three key areas: digital availability, levels of digital literacy, and limitation. The study used mode to determine digital skill levels and frequency and percentage to assess ICT availability and limitations. Results revealed that despite facing many digital challenges and limited computer access, these barangays showed good digital skills, rated as Proficient and Competent. This indicates to address the challenges in some areas, a training design was conceptualized per municipality.
