© 2017 IEEE. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the value of an information system for a Philippine local government unit (LGU) namely, the Caloocan City Hall's Planning Department Social Division. With difficulties in identifying relationships between various issues raised surrounding education and health, appropriate interventions or programs are not given. Thus, using IS benchmarking and agile methodology, the researchers proposed a system design framework in developing a data management and analytics system that is comprised of modules and visualizations customized to the needs of a Philippine LGU in uncovering relationships with their city hall data to define root causes of issues and discover trends and outliers useful in program planning for improvement of the educational and social welfare of the city.
