LOOK || Last November 15, 2025, at Barangay Pagatpat, the Liceo College of Law conducted a series of Community Legal Lectures for barangay workers. Among the participants were members of the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Brgy Canitoan, who play a vital role in maintaining peace and administering justice at the barangay level.
The lectures covered several important laws and procedures, including:
RA 9365 – Katarungang Pambarangay (Barangay Justice System), which outlines the mechanisms for amicably settling disputes within the community;
RA 9262 – Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, aimed at protecting victims and strengthening community response to cases of abuse;
RA 10175 – Cybercrime Prevention Act, addressing offenses committed through information and communication technologies; and
A.M. No. 08-8-7-SC – Rules of Procedure for Small Claims Cases, which streamline the process for resolving monetary disputes involving small amounts.
This initiative provided valuable insights and practical knowledge that will greatly assist the Lupong Tagapamayapa in performing their duties more effectively. We are truly grateful for this meaningful opportunity to broaden our understanding of these significant laws.
