Barangays. Furthermore, it is implied that a P-Value of 0.000035 that there is a
statistical significance between the GR and IRA in barangays of Butuan City. Thus,
Graduation Rate is a significant factor in determining the Internal Revenue Allotment
of the Barangay.

Question 4: Based on the results, what intervention program or policy can be

proposed?

In all the foregoing data that were gathered, it can be concluded that higher
Graduation Rate in Barangays of Butuan City indicated a positive or significant
relationship with the Internal Revenue Allotment of the said Barangays. Accordingly,
intensifying actions toward improving the Graduation Rate within the barangay will
strongly benefit the community as a whole since it can mean that the people in
Barangay have achieve a higher educational status and that education brings with it
Job Opportunities. Furthermore, job opportunities imply a higher share of IRA and
will then give a chance for the barangay to expand projects for the betterment of its
people. Thus, it is highly recommended that the barangay will venture in creating
community-based activities in order to reach out to young individuals and drive them
to give priority in education. Sponsoring School-Related Contest, symposiums,
seminars and even Barangay scholarship grants are just some of the activities that
can be done by the barangay. This will then cause a higher chance in improving the
graduation rate of Barangay that will eventually equate to higher share of Internal
Revenue Allotment in the future.
