This quantitative study evaluates the effectiveness of the Katarungang Pambarangay

(KP) Law—mandated under Republic Act 7160—as a grassroots dispute resolution

mechanism in Barangay San Fermin, Cauayan City, Isabela. It examines procedural

efficiency, Lupon Tagapamayapa performance, implementation challenges, disputant

satisfaction, and influencing factors, drawing on procedural justice and institutional

performance theories.

Data were collected from 131 purposively sampled respondents: 52.67%

complainants, 41.22% respondents, and 6.11% Lupon members. Validated 5-point

Likert-scale questionnaires yielded analyzable metrics via frequency, percentage, and

weighted means.

Findings indicate strong procedural effectiveness (grand means = 3.79–4.08), with

strengths in clear explanations (WM = 4.18) but minor timeliness issues (WM =

3.93). Lupon performance excelled (grand mean = 4.41), particularly in impartiality,

communication, and documentation (WM = 4.63). Implementation challenges rated

moderately (grand means = 3.36–3.93), spotlighting scheduling (WM = 3.67), delays

(WM = 4.00), and pressure (WM = 3.15). Disputant satisfaction was solid (grand

means = 3.59–4.18), reinforced by fair outcomes (WM = 4.13) and KP endorsements

(WM = 4.22).

Influencing factors proved highly effective (grand mean = 4.50), led by party

cooperation (WM = 4.57), procedures (WM = 4.56), and Lupon competence (WM =

4.38). Overall, KP delivers accessible, fair, and efficient justice, alleviating court

burdens and fostering amicable settlements despite gaps in timeliness and awareness.
Recommendations target Lupon training enhancements (e.g., DILG workshops on

mediation and digital tools), automated scheduling, compliance monitoring,

community campaigns, and future longitudinal research across Isabela barangays.

This empirical assessment not only validates KP's grassroots justice contributions but

also furnishes actionable insights for policy refinements, advancing restorative

harmony in barangay.
