The study examined the correlation between the Compliance of Barangay captains in San Jose City and their knowledge and perception of the fairness of Section 93 of the Local Government Code of 1991. The Barangay is the central planning and implementing unit of the government's policies, programs, and activities in the community. The study used a survey questionnaire to gather the data. Purposive sampling was used to select the respondents. The respondents are thirty-seven (37) Barangay Captains. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to illustrate the sociodemographic profile, knowledge, perceived fairness, and Compliance of the respondents. The respondents are knowledgeable, compliant with the law, and perceive the policy as fair. There is a positive correlation between the knowledge, perceived fairness, Compliance, and sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents. It is recommended that the government conduct more policy training sessions and seminars for barangay officials.
