The Challenges and Lived Experiences of the Barangay Tanods: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study in the Philippines During COVID-19 Pandemic

Barangay tanods are not exempted from the risk of the COVID-19 due to being exposed to public areas. Aside from health risks, these front liners are also a mistreatment subject from violators. Thus, this study is conducted during the pandemic and gathered data through a phone interview. It is conducted to explore the lived experiences of Barangay Tanods and how they adjusted to the drastic change in the work environment, health risk exposure to COVID-19, and the threat of danger caused by different factors during community quarantine. It also determines the specific challenges in the work environment and the changes in policing strategies, and how they cope. Lastly, it aims to map out how these experiences and impacts will improve preparations and the development of policing strategies in future crises. Moreover, three major conclusions emerge from this study's findings: (1) Barangay tanods faced difficulties in the sudden shift of their work environment (2) Most of the barangay tanods received incentives from the government to supply their health and sanitary needs (3) Barangay tanods reflected on their experiences to further improve as public servants and to be prepared for future crisis.

I. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is responsible for more fatalities than the SARS coronavirus, despite being in the initial stage of a global pandemic. The first suspected cases in the Philippines were investigated on January 22, 2020. Both patients were previously healthy Chinese nationals on vacation in the Philippines, traveling as a couple during January 2020. Patient 1, a 39-year-old female, had a cough and sore throat symptoms and was admitted to San Lazaro Hospital in Manila on January 25. Since then, the national government of the Philippines was doing ways to control the spread and transmission of the COVID-19 virus. As of today, April 8, 2021, according to the Department of Health, 813,000 cases are reported, of which 646,000 have recovered, and 13,178 deaths happened. Of the said cases, 22,670 were from the Davao region [1]. Here in our locality, according to the City Health Office of Panabo City, there are 913 confirmed cases, 841 of those have recovered, and 50 deaths happened. From the data provided last April 7, out of 40 barangays of the city, Barangay Nanyo has zero cases of covid-19 related cases and deaths [2]. There are significant concerns about operative pandemic response and awareness in fragile health systems and the rifeness of misinformation. Their study determined that there is essential for targeted health education as a response strategy to COVID-19 in low-income settings, and it is vital that strategies are contextually relevant. Understanding among populations experiencing extreme poverty will be important as tailored guidance for public health response, and communication strategies are developed for low and middle-income countries [3].

The manuscript offers an in-depth examination of the performance and obstacles faced by barangay tanods, vital civilian volunteers tasked with upholding peace and security in areas where formal law enforcement presence is scarce. The study extensively examines various aspects of barangay tanods' roles, responsibilities, and operational effectiveness, emphasizing their satisfaction levels, training needs, empowerment initiatives, and operational challenges. It underscores the significance of continuous training programs, specialized competencies, and community responses in improving the overall performance of barangay peacekeeping teams. Additionally, the research explores how barangay tanods engage in disaster risk reduction, respond to public health emergencies, and adapt to evolving work environments, demonstrating their resilience and adaptability during crises. While recognizing the effectiveness of barangay tanod across different domains, the study also highlights operational barriers like limited resources and challenges in information dissemination that impede their optimal performance. The study concludes by promoting research initiatives that encompass gender diversity to gain deeper insights into the responsibilities and challenges encountered by female tanods, aiming to improve the tanods' overall success in keeping peace and order. This research significantly adds to the domain of existing knowledge by illuminating the essential function fulfilled by barangay tanods and providing valuable perspectives to direct upcoming researchers in advancing understanding within this critical field.

Peacekeeping has grown to include a broader humanitarian approach; female personnel have become part of the peacekeeping family. The UN has called for more deployment of female peacekeepers to enhance the overall “holistic” approach to current UN peacekeeping operations. More skilled and trained female peacekeepers can only be an asset to future peacekeeping operations. In October 2000, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security. The resolution was hailed as a landmark resolution in that for the first time, the Security Council recognized the contribution women make during and post-conflict. Since the adoption of Resolution 1325, attention to gender perspectives within the international peace agenda has ¬firmly been placed within the broader peace and security framework. This article explains the development of Indonesian female peacekeepers contribution in the period of 2009-20016 and argues why Indonesia needs to support and to consider deploying more female peacekeepers in UN peacekeeping operations.
