Abstract: It is important to craft a peacekeeping concept appropriate to the particular situation of peace and order in the barangay. Realizing the significance of barangay peace and order programs, this study was steered to determine the prevailing peace and order programs and its extent of implementation in Barangay Poblacion, Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. The researchers used a pre-designed survey questionnaire and distributed them to 99 barangay residents. The distribution was based on convenience sampling technique and data gathered were treated with a weighted mean. The results of this study showed that the residents of Barangay Poblacion, Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay have “High” sense of safety in their residence and neighborhood. They also purported that the peace and order ordinances and programs are well implemented, garnering “High” score in the overall result. These implied that the residents feel safe and they likely benefit from the strong implementation of Peace and Order programs and ordinances. Thus, it is recommended that the barangay officials together with all the concerned personnel including the chief of the barangay enforcers, the barangay enforcers, and barangay workers shall work altogether to strengthen the peace and order programs in the barangay. This shall be done with careful planning and well–defined strategies within the smallest political unit in the Philippines, the barangay level.
