Abstract The study entitled “Barangay Information Management System with Automated Mobile Messaging for Improved Community Engagement” aimed to enhance the efficiency of local data management and strengthen communication between barangay officials and residents. The proposed system integrates essential barangay processes such as resident profiling, record management, and report generation into a centralized digital platform, thereby reducing manual workload, minimizing data inconsistencies, and improving operational accuracy. An automated mobile messaging feature was incorporated to facilitate real-time communication. The system enables barangay officials to send announcements, reminders, and urgent notifications directly to residents’ mobile devices. Likewise, residents can transmit messages to the system, which undergo automated server-level validation to ensure authenticity by verifying that they originate from registered contact numbers. Once validated, messages are evaluated to determine whether they are emergency-related. Non-emergency messages are recorded without triggering further action. However, emergency-related messages are analyzed using a rule-based method to classify their nature and determine the appropriate response. Depending on the type of emergency such as crime, fire, or disaster, then the system automatically notifies the designated members of the Emergency Response Team, including the Barangay Chair-man, Barangay Police, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. After dispatching notifications, the system sends a confirmation message to the sender to acknowledge that the appropriate authorities have been informed. Using a developmental research design, the system was developed following standard software engineering principles and evaluated by barangay personnel and community members based on functionality, usability, reliability, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that the proposed system significantly improves administrative efficiency and enhances community engagement through timely, structured, and responsive communication mechanisms.
