The Community Pillar

 The Community refers generally to the

civilian populace and can be used
interchangeably with public, citizenry,
society, or private sector.
 As provided under RA No. 7160 (Local Government
Code), all criminal cases the penalty not exceeding 1
year of imprisonment and/ or a fine not exceeding P5,
000.00 shall be filed before the Lupong Tagapamayapa
and non-compliance therewith will cause the dismissal
of the case for failure to comply with the condition
precedent. Thus, it empowered the people themselves to
resolve their own conflicts or disputes without resorting
to the tedious and expensive court processes.
 As regards diversion programs given to Children in
Conflict with the Law (CICL), the barangay officials,
responsible members of the community including the
victim/ complainant and their relatives are given their
respective role in the supervision of the said CICL
pursuant to RA No. 9344 and its implementing rules.
What makes the Community as a Pillar?

 1. Family. Refers to the basic social group

united through bonds of kinship or marriage,
present in all societies. It is the primary
institution that molds a child to become a
law-abiding person or a delinquent.
 2. School
 -The second integral stage of the behavioral/social
development process is the school. It is said that the
school is an extension of the home having the strategic
position to control crime and delinquency. It exercises
authority over every child that enters its jurisdiction. The
teachers are considered second parents having the
responsibility to mold the child to become productive
members of the community by devoting energies to study
the child's behavior using all available scientific means
and devices to provide each the kind and amount of
education they need.
3. Church
 The church is the institution that provides a place for
public worship and the services needed to enhance the
spiritual and moral character of an individual. The church
influences people's behavior with the emphasis on moral
and life's highest spiritual values, the worth and dignity of
the individual, and respect for people's lives and
properties. The church generates a strong will of the
people to oppose crime and delinquency.
4. Mass Media.
 It is the best institution for information
dissemination thereby giving an opportunity to the
public to know the necessary facts of life that help
them shape their daily views about crime and its
control.
Non-Government Organization,

 NGO's are private organizations that are civic oriented and

thus promote peaceful and productive society. These are
groups of concerned individuals responsible for helping
the government to pursue community development. They
serve as partners of the government institutions in
providing common services for public good and welfare,
thus preventing criminality and maintaining peace and
order
Two (2) Fold Roles of the Community as a Pillar of CJS

 1. To participate in Law Enforcement

Activities.
 2. To participate in the promotion of Peace
and Order
 THE KATARUNGANG PAMBARANGAY
-It is also known as Barangay Justice System (BJS), a community-based dispute
settlement mechanism that is administered by the basic political unit of the country
the barangay.
-The establishment and operation of the BJS is mandated by RA No. 7160 (Sec. 399-
422) or the Local Government Code of 1991. Prior to this law, however, the
establishment of the BJS had been covered by PD No. 1508 (1978) and BP Blg. 337
or the 1983 Local Government Code. The law had the following objectives:
 a. To promote the speedy administration of justice
 b. To minimize the indiscriminate filing of cases in courts
 c. To minimize the congestion of court dockets and thereby enhance the quality of
justice dispensed by the courts
 d. To perpetuate and recognize the time-honored tradition of amicably settling
disputes at the community.
