Abstract

Objective - Local Government Units (LGUs) play a significant role in the development of their constituents. Basic services should be their main priority in order to implement these services to a high standard. Hence, this study aims to assess the level of implementation of basic services in San Mateo, Isabela, taking into account the profile of the respondents, their perception on the implementation of basic services and good governance, significant differences in their perceptions, and problems encountered in the implementation process. Methodology/Technique - The data collected was measured and analysed using the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS). Finding - The results show that the respondents (which were grouped into 4) vary in their perceptions on the implementation of the basic services; however, the level of implementation was high. Moreover, the 4 dimensions of good governance recorded a very satisfactory level of implementation. These findings imply that the mechanisms used in the delivery of basic services are effective and responsive. Thus, the model used by the LGU San Mateo may be shared with other municipalities to achieve quality delivery of basic services. Type of Paper - Empirical.
