Project Karunungan has three main goals: first, to provide the officials of the barangays
in General Santos City with the basic knowledge on the Parliamentary Procedure and legislative
process;/ second, to capacitate the barangay officials with the skills of properly handling the
meetings based on the rules of procedure and crafting ordinances and resolutions; third, to
increase the productivity of the barangay officials by expediting the conduct of meetings based
on the rules of the procedure.

Budgetary:
The Extension Department has an adequate budget for the extension services. However,
the Project Karunungan is mainly funded by the Annual Investment Plan of City-LGU
and is specified under the Barangay Governance Initiatives and Special Projects in the
Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) of the City-Mayor’s Office (CMO).

(budgetary documents)

It is noteworthy that there is a mandatory representative from the Indigenous

People which will hopefully improve their participation and law-making capabilities in
their respective BLGUs with the end view of better representation of IPs in the
government. This is in line with the mandate of the University to improve the living
conditions of Muslims and IPs in Southern Philippines

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the project was temporarily halted to
give way to the provisions of health emergency related assistance of the CLGU. The
BLGUs were understandably focused on containing the spread of the virus in their
respective jurisdictions. Thus, it was agreed that the project resumes once the concerned
parties are ready to continue the implementation of the project. The next BLGU
identified is Tambler and was slated for the training-workshop on June or July 2023.
However, the impending travel to Cebu and the SGLG compliance altered the original
schedule. The resumption is expected on August 2023.

The Department of Political Science has been successful in materializing the objectives
of its extension project as the project is graded very effective based on the findings of
the study. The project improved the orderly conduct of meeting among BLGUs with the
acquired on knowledge and skills. Moreover, the quantity and quality of legislative
process has been impacted by the project, thus, improving the good governance
mandate of local government units concerned. The project is also on track on
contributing to the development goals of the country particularly on strengthening
public institutions and the improving governance in the country.
