The Barangay book keeper of Bagontapay counts the number of residence manually and may cause to inaccurate information and time consuming for the repetition of counting. In storing the files and records of the Barangay they used folders.

Though they have system in registering resident, as what we have question to them the system is not fully functioning because the authorized person forgot the database username and password and she said also that there are 25 resident that being stored in the system.
