CVISNET Foundation Inc. showcased the Barangay e-System and Tools (BeST) during the Second Quarter Meeting of the League of Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers (LDRRMOs). Hosted by the Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (Cebu PDRRMO), the two-day convention took place from June 4–5, 2026, at Harold's Hotel in Cebu City.

Invited as a key resource institution by the Cebu PDRRMO, CVISNET Executive Director Jeffrey “Beam” Llanto led a dedicated session on the morning of June 5. His presentation focused on equipping local frontliners with advanced, tailored tools for emergency communication, digital empowerment, and localized disaster management.

At the center of the presentation is BeST, a cloud-based information system designed to revolutionize municipal and barangay-level operations through seamless data integration. By transitioning from manual workflows to this secure digital platform, Local Government Units (LGUs) and barangays can achieve unprecedented efficiency in managing resident records and streamlining the issuance of permits and clearances.

Beyond administrative tasks, the platform significantly modernizes how local communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from calamities through its specialized Disaster Information System for Communities (DISC) module. This comprehensive digital solution is engineered to help communities seamlessly comply with two major national mandates: RA 12254 – The e-Governance Act of 2025 and RA 10121 – The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010.

Free-to-Use Software for Immediate Local Deployment

Endorsed by the DOST Central Visayas (DOST-7) and the Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, BeST is offered by CVISNET Foundation, Inc. as a "free-to-use” software. This approach allows LGUs and barangays to implement the technology immediately—bypassing the high costs and lengthy procurement timelines typically associated with custom software development. By removing financial barriers, CVISNET aims to accelerate digital transformation and disaster resilience across the province, one barangay at a time.
