According to an article written by Mojares Philip, Villamin Litan, Gilles Ann T, and Mojares Juvy G, (2013)
entitled Inotified: An SMS and RFID-Based Notification System of Lipa City Colleges, Lipa City, Batangas,
Philippines that in the advent of technology, communication becomes faster and easier in a tap of a
fingertip.

We all know that communication between parents and school is very challenging and important one. One of
the challenges that Lipa City Colleges is confronting, since at present, is the worries of the parents in their
school to know if their children are really attending or not in the school during their class period. The school
has no way of providing the immediate information to the parents if their children are in or out of the school
premises in a particular time. The researchers give their full effort to find the answer to the problem, and
conducted this system development study which is considered a new technology which helped the school
to solve the problem in monitoring the students' whereabouts. Specifically, it aimed to design a system
which will maximize the use of SMS module and RFID technology, develop a system which will guarantee
the privacy and security of information saved in a database, determine the benefits of using the SMS
Module and RFID technology as a method of communication between the parents and the school, and test
and evaluate a system in terms of its performance, functionality, usability, reliability and extensibility.

With the help of using different programming languages and technologies such as Java (J2EE), Visual
Basic 2010 (VB.Net), MySQL (DBMS), RFID and SMS Module, this program was designed and developed.

It also utilized descriptive research design which intends to present facts concerning the nature of status of
a situations it exists at the time of the study and to describe present conditions, events or systems based
on the impressions or reactions of the respondents of the research. On the other hand, the Likert scale was
used to test and evaluate the system in terms of its functionality, usability, reliability, extensibility and
performance. The software process models used in this study were evolutionary prototyping and extreme
programming (XP) since the phases of development were fast with focus on high software quality. After
testing and evaluation, the system was found to be functional, usable, reliable, and extensible and
performed well.

According to an article by Isaac M. Morallo (2016) of Lyceum of the Philippines University-Laguna, Student
Electronic Attendance and Logging System (LPU-Laguna Seals) They create an electronic attendance and
logging system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Short Messaging Service (SMS) with a
Web-based management system portal. It allows user to access real time data to ensure campus security
and smart information management. Students will use RFID card system to check in and out of the main
entrance, to both track attendance and log time and prevent unauthorized entrance there for eutilize the
RFID technology.

The LPU-LAGUNA SEALS system developed in this study has six main functions: (1) to use the student
RFID chip in the ID’s as gate pass, (2) to send daily SMS to parents about the student entry and exit time
record, (3) to efficiently manage and monitor student attendance and logs thru intranet and internet, (4) to
integrate Web-based system portal to access real time logs and attendance, (5) to provide printed reports
and electronic files of attendance and logs, and (6) to implement the system in Lyceum of the Philippines-
Laguna.

This program was designed and developed using various programming languages and technologies such
as Visual Basic 2010 (VB .NET), Hypertext Mark-up Language 5 (HTML5), Cascading Style Sheet 3
(CSS3), Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) scripting language, JQuery, MySQL database engine, RFID and
GSM (Global System for Mobile) module. This system is implemented at the main gate of LPU-Laguna
using client-server technology which comprises the reader, the tag, the GSM module, a client PC and a
database server. The researcher applied Rapid Application Development (RAD) method as the system
framework model that focuses on the system development utilizing prototypes thereby flexibly adjusting
requirements as the need arises. The system was successfully implemented by utilizing the use of both
RFID and SMS technology in the process which resulted in an efficient monitoring and managing of
attendance and logs of the students that provides campus security and efficient information management.
