The Katarungang Pambarangay Training Program, a banner extension program of the Public Administration Department of DMMMSU-MLUC, is examined for its impact on barangay dispute resolution. This study assesses pre- and post¬ practices, strengths and weaknesses, and cases filed in recipient barangays, Casilagan and Suguidan Stir. Data from 22 out of 32 attendees was gathered through a questionnaire and informal interviews and analyzed through median, frequency, percentage, document review, and a Wilcoxon signed test. Before the program, barangay officials and lupon members moderately practiced Katarungang Pambarangay provisions, which were highly practiced after. Significant differences were noted before and after the implementation. Strengths include a better understanding of duties as a Lupon member, while time constraints were identified as a weakness. The highest filed cases were in 2016 (Casilagan) and 2019 (Suguidan Sur). Two case study briefs were served as a summary of the results, emphasizing the program's impact on barangay dispute resolution.
