Being one of the most functional branches in the political system, the barangay plays a vital role in the society and amongst its people. It is also the one who reinforces society’s social norms, structure, and development; as well as providing clear cut political divisions and areas of jurisdiction per Barangay officials. The researchers have decided to conduct a case study specifically on Barangay Kasilawan in Makati, Metro Manila. This study aims not only to produce a deeper understanding of the Barangay system that is used in the Philippines but also shed some light on the possible relation between a Barangay’s location, community, structure, development and systems and most specifically, in its barangay hall on the existing problems and its possible solutions for the researchers’ chosen ethnic tribal community, The Tausugs in Sulu, Mindanao. Barangay Kasilawan is known for its minuscule but award winning community, as to why the researchers have chosen the barangay for a local case study. In line with this, their barangay hall also seems to receive the same feedbacks in terms of its structure which can elevate the researchers’ knowledge about a good barangay hall.

The study will also be helpful for their assessment of space interrelationship, as well as the circulation of activities inside the vicinity when they employ effective architectural design measures that a community barangay hall has. Moreover, this research will provide proposed solutions and recommendations on how to evaluate the character of a certain barangay hall in accordance to human resources management, and environment. l The study will also serve as a future reference for researchers on the subject of local barangay hall for the ethnic tribal communities like the Tausug in Sulu, Mindanao.
