The City Interior and Local Government Office of the Science City of Munoz, a collaborating agency of Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in the implementation of the Barangay Integrated Development Approach for Nutrition Improvement of the Rural Poor (BIDANI) Program, chose Barangay Bantug as a model in the implementation of the Barangay Management Information System (BMIS) Project. An on-site visit and actual demonstration of the BMIS database were held last June 29, 2022, at the Bantug Barangay Hall. It was graced by Dir. Karl Caesar R. Rimando, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Director, Atty. Ofelio A. Tatac, Jr. DILG Provincial Director, and CESO V, Dr. Edgar A. Orden, CLSU President, Mr. Crismelito R. Catacutan, City Local Government Operations Officer, and Dr. Eugenia G. Baltazar, CLSU Extension Center Director.  “Maganda ang BMIS and we are looking forward na ma-implement ito hindi lang sa buong probinsya, kundi sa buong region sa tulong ng CLSU,” Dir. Rimando said. Ms. Fermina M. Macanas, BMIS project leader, demonstrated how the BMIS database works. According to her, the database provides the LGU with minimum data needs on socio-economic, health, nutrition, environment, and agriculture. It also facilitates the identification of household and barangay needs for nutrition and development planning and project implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The BMIS project is one of the components of the BIDANI Program which was initiated by UPLB BIDANI and implemented by different SUCs nationwide. The Barangay Chair of Bantug, Mr. Eric P. Santiago was very grateful for this project. He said it was a big help for them particularly in organizing their barangay data which they can use for future local development planning in their area. On the other hand, President Orden was also very optimistic on the outcome of the project which made him signified his willingness to extend assistance on behalf of CLSU. As a response, the CLSU BIDANI program leader, Ms. Ma. Conception O. De Vera took the responsibility to further improve and strengthen its implementation and to take action on the plans for BMIS in the province. This activity is an off-shoot of the BMIS Training conducted last April 6 and 27, 2022 to all barangay representatives in the Science City of Munoz.
