Main Article Content
Abstract – Child protection and well-being are subjects close to the heart of many communities across the globe, with awareness of abuse, neglect, and rape cases on the rise. In Bani, Pangasinan, child protection remains challenging for the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), primarily due to personnel constraints and the manual paper-based reporting process. This paper describes the design and development of E-Ligtas: A Reporting System for Child at Risk Cases for the MSWDO in Bani, Pangasinan, to help the MSWDO staff in gathering reports efficiently. The system features Case Reporting, a Case Status Tracker, a Homepage for Information Dissemination, and Case Tally by Barangay, improving accuracy in data and response time. This research used developmental and descriptive strategy, including system usability testing through a survey questionnaire distributed to MSWDO personnel. Using a web-based platform and mobile-responsive reporting would enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of child protection processes, reducing manual methods. E-Ligtas can also be an effective tool, which the MSWDO can use to improve child protection and might inspire others in other regions to follow.
