How the Barangay do Budgeting and Approval
15th week, the end is near the venture soon will come to a close. we haven’t had a class on techno for about 3 weeks, but we still must continue to do the things needed to validate the product. it was really hard to go try and make things work, because there are times that things are really against you. but the key here is always be persistent and have a courage to stand up whenever you fall. because that’s how people learn from mistakes and experience.
On this week we are still working on things with the barangay we do educate and interview with barangay officials. these are to clarify on how the barangays can make up for the budgeting on projects and how they decide on what projects are to be done. we are targeting these types of questions since our product is being implemented on barangays then we need to know how these barangays can accommodate our product. so far on what we interviewed, they are saying that the allocation of budget will came depending on what project is being made. and if there’s a project that exceeds 50K then there will be a bidding, we still don’t know this bidding they are talking about but we think that they bid on how much the project will cost.
Then second is we interviewed regarding how projects for barangay are being approved. so they are saying that once there are projects proposed the barangay council will held a meeting regarding the project then in order to bed approved the project must get the majority of the council’s votes. then the budgeting will come if approved. these information gathered from barangays are very important since that’s where we get our sales.
There are things that this venture taught me, one of it is to never hesitate on doing things that you’re afraid. only because of this venture I learned not to be hesitant on talking with other people. I now have more confidence talking to strangers. and these may not be big learnings but these things are very important in the future. because we all communicate.
