The SEND International Website "an interdenominational faith mission agency" (SEND International n.d.a) defines barangay as a small political unit similar to a township in the United States, whose administrators are responsible for delivering basic services to its residents (ibid n.d.b). The barangay further provides a forum in which citizens can express their views and grievances as well settle disputes without appealing to outside courts (ibid.).
