1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Our Lady of Atocha Church in Alicia is noted for having an old Spanish church. It is one of the best churches to visit for a pilgrimage in the Philippines during the Holy Week.

The secretary is the only one who works for the recording process of all information about the celebrant. The best solution of the problem of the secretary was to have a Computerized Record Management System that will generate easily the records or information of the celebrant. The automated record management system will make the process easier and faster for the secretary to work on because she works alone for the process of generating the record. 1.2 PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
