EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan or UBAS is a tripartite venture of
the barangays, faith-based organizations and the Department of the Interior and
Local Government (DILG) that aims to harness community participation in order to
uphold transparency and accountability measures in promoting good governance at
the local level.
Meanwhile, the Barangay Action Teams (BATs) are the implementing body of
the UBAS composed of barangay officials, religious leaders/lay ministers and
representatives of barangay-based civil society organizations.
In a bid to step up the mainstreaming efforts of the UBAS in the Province,
the DILG Nueva Vizcaya, in collaboration with the DILG Regional Office,
conducted an orientation with the members of the BATs on August 27, 2015 at the
Ammungan Hall, Capitol Compound, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya.
The said orientation is aimed at making the BATs well-equipped in both the
UBAS and BuB programs as well as in filling out monitoring forms since they are
specifically tasked to monitor the proper implementation of various anti-poverty
projects, particularly those funded under the Bottom-up Budgeting (BuB) and other
engagements in the barangay to achieve the goal of curbing corruption and
promoting good governance.
Aside from the presentations and lectures on good governance, another
salient part of the orientation was the covenant signing where all participants
affixed their signatures in the covenant, showcasing their commitment to sustain
UBAS in their respective LGUs.

RATIONALE
The UBAS program was launched in the region on February 12, 2015 in
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. Since then, few but meaningful activities have been
conducted in the Province of Nueva Vizcaya to include launching and covenant
signing. Moreover, the Department has heightened its campaign to create an
enabling environment for a meaningful collaboration with the Liga ng mga
Barangay and Inter-Faith Organizations (IFOs) based in the Province.
One of the key components of the UBAS program is the organization and
orientation of the Barangay Action Teams at all local levels. One (1) pilot barangay
per municipality was chosen for the pilot test run thus, necessary technical
assistance was afforded to them. Lastly, to fully implement the UBAS project at the
barangay level, the members of the UBAS Provincial Convenors Group and the
Technical Working Members also attended and provided input in the formulation of
the Plan of Activities.
OBJECTIVES
Generally, the activity aims to provide the BAT members a clearer vision on
the nature of the UBAS program as well as their areas of engagements in order to
facilitate other lined-up activities particularly on the evaluation of projects.
