Abstract
The study, Assessment of the Records Management System (RMS) of Local
Government Units in the Local Government of Laguna, aimed at the assessment of RMS
that is being practiced by the province on its Phase 1. This will become a basis for the
Standardization of the Records Management System in the Local Government Units in
Laguna.
It dealt with the parameters of RMS as to; (1) IRMS, (2) Record management
program, (3) Regulatory Environment (4) Functionality and components of record system,
(5) Record management processes and control, (6) ARMA, (7) Filing Methods, (8) Filing
Procedures, and (9) Indexing Rules and as being practice currently by the Local
Government of Laguna.
The Administrative Professionals of the eight (8) Municipal Government or four (4)
Districts of the Province of Laguna were the respondents of the study. From the 160
Administrative professionals in the Municipal Government, a result of ?Very Satisfactory?
the nine (9) RMS parameters was drawn. This can be inferred that the Province of Laguna
strongly agreed on the given parameters and is currently practicing RMS across
Municipalities.
On the other hand, the seven (7) Municipalities has no significant difference on the
RMS practices, except one (1) from the eight (8) having a significant difference on its RMS
practices in all Municipalities that were assessed.
This can be inferred that the Province of Laguna has its implementing RMS that is
considered to be adhering to the standard measures. Nevertheless, the municipalities in
Laguna have uncommon RMS practices which is needed to be standardized as to
international standard and as to practice or implementation.
