    [abstract] => This study determined the impact of the Basic Information Technology Education Services (BITES) program by the College of Computer Studies at Eastern Samar State University on the technological proficiency of barangay officials in Barangay San Gabriel, Borongan City. Using a descriptive research design, the study measured participants' proficiency levels before and after the training through surveys. Results showed significant improvement, with initial proficiency rated as partially proficient (2.00) and post-training proficiency as highly proficient (4.29). A paired t-test confirmed this improvement was statistically significant (p < .001). The program's overall impact was rated as highly impactful, especially in practical training sessions and job performance relevance. The study recommends replicating the BITES program in other communities, updating training materials, optimizing training duration, and providing ongoing support to maintain proficiency. This research highlights the vital role of IT education in empowering local officials and fostering sustainable community growth.
