READ | DILG earmarks ₱633-M for climate-smart evacuation centers in 24 disaster-prone LGUs

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has allocated ₱633 million for the construction, upgrading, and rehabilitation of 24 climate-smart evacuation centers in some of the country's most disaster-prone local government units (LGUs), reinforcing local disaster preparedness and strengthening community resilience.

Funded under the DILG's Local Government Support Fund–Support and Assistance Fund to Participatory Budgeting (LGSF-SAFPB), the projects will enhance the capacity of LGUs to carry out safer, more organized, and timely preemptive evacuations. The beneficiary provinces were identified under the National Adaptation Plan 2023–2030 as among those most vulnerable to climate-related hazards.

For Fiscal Year 2025, the program covers nine municipalities: Buguey, Cagayan; Macalelon, Quezon; Lagonoy, Camarines Sur; Borbon, Cebu; Balangiga, Eastern Samar; Leyte, Leyte; Tabontabon, Leyte; Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur; and Tambulig, Zamboanga del Sur.

Meanwhile, 15 LGUs are set to receive assistance in Fiscal Year 2026: Burdeos, General Luna, and Patnanungan in Quezon; San Jose, Camarines Sur; San Fernando, Masbate; Anilao and Bingawan, Iloilo; Alegria, Boljoon, Poro, and Ronda in Cebu; Maslog, Eastern Samar; Calubian, Leyte; and Josefina and Tabina in Zamboanga del Sur.

In his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. highlighted the rollout of Ligtas Pinoy Centers this year to serve as permanent evacuation facilities in provinces highly vulnerable to natural hazards.

“Ang mga gusali na ito ay dinisenyo upang kayanin ang mga malubhang kalamidad tulad ng super typhoon na 340 kilometers per hour ang lakas ng hangin at magnitude 8.4 na lindol.”

The President also cited the continued expansion of the Unified 911 system as part of the government's efforts to strengthen emergency response.

“We continue to prioritize public safety through the establishment of a fully operational command and emergency response network for the Unified 911,” he said.

To date, the Unified 911 system operates nine command centers nationwide, including the recently activated Mindanao Regional Command Center in Cagayan de Oro City and the Satellite Command Centers in Pampanga and Maguindanao del Norte.

The DILG said the continued investment in resilient evacuation facilities, complemented by an expanding emergency response network, equips LGUs with the infrastructure and capabilities needed to better protect communities before, during, and after disasters.

The Department reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with LGUs in localizing disaster risk reduction and management initiatives to build safer, more resilient, and climate-adaptive communities.

READ | DILG tracks over 80,000 LGU projects to safeguard public funds

In support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s campaign against graft and corruption, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has intensified the real-time monitoring of government-funded projects in local government units (LGUs) through the Subaybayan ang Proyektong Bayan (SubayBAYAN) project, reinforcing transparency and accountability in public service delivery.

In his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Marcos highlighted the importance of protecting public funds, citing the implementation of mechanisms that have improved government project monitoring, reduced red tape, and helped curb corrupt practices in the bureaucracy.

“Bukod sa flood control projects, lahat ng mga proyekto ay sinuri at tiniyak na talagang kinakailangan at maayos — mula sa plano, presyo, hanggang pagpapatupad,” Marcos said. “Bantay-sarado ang bawat proyekto at ang nakalaang pondo sa Transparency Portal, Integrity Chain, at katuwang na mga Civil Society Organization,” he added.

Aligned with the President’s directive, the DILG said that from 2022 to the present, a total of 80,949 locally funded projects nationwide have been monitored through SubayBAYAN, an online platform that allows citizens to track the implementation of projects and see how public funds are being utilized by LGUs.

These include 17,739 projects funded under the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) and 63,210 projects financed through the 20 percent LGU Development Fund.

Complementing the SubayBAYAN project, the DILG also implements the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP), which requires LGUs to publicly disclose key financial and governance information. The policy strengthens transparency, promotes accountability, and empowers citizens to participate more actively in local governance.

A total of 1,638 LGUs, or 95 percent nationwide, have complied with the FDP, consisting of 1,419 municipalities, 142 cities, and 77 provinces. Nearly 37,000 barangays, or 92 percent nationwide, are likewise complying with the policy.

To further strengthen transparency and citizen participation, the DILG continues to engage civil society organizations (CSOs) in monitoring local government projects. Currently, 50,629 CSOs are accredited with LGUs, while 1,511 CSO Desks have been established to facilitate greater public involvement in governance.

As part of the government's continuing efforts to eliminate corruption, the DILG said it remains committed to strengthening LGU accountability and upholding integrity in public spending through mechanisms that ensure every peso from the national coffers is used effectively for projects that deliver meaningful benefits to Filipinos.

READ | DILG urges LGUs to support AI-powered database of local ordinances

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has called on local government units (LGUs) nationwide to support the rollout of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered legislative information system that will modernize the way local laws are drafted, managed, and accessed.

Through Memorandum Circular No. 2026-041, the DILG encouraged city and municipal mayors, vice mayors, and Local Sanggunians to submit electronic copies of their ordinances, resolutions, and other legislative issuances for inclusion in the e-Legis Reference System, a centralized, AI-driven online database designed to make local legislation more accessible, transparent, and efficient.

To ensure the effective implementation of the initiative, the Department also directed city and municipal Sanggunian members to actively participate in orientation and capacity-building activities on the e-Legis Reference System. LGUs may likewise collect the corresponding subscription fees in accordance with existing laws and regulations.

The e-Legis Reference System is expected to strengthen local governance by equipping policymakers with digital tools that improve the quality and efficiency of legislation. Among its key features are a personalized legislative feed based on users' areas of interest, an AI-powered drafting studio that assists in developing local measures, and a dedicated research platform that enables vice mayors and Sanggunian members to quickly search for relevant ordinances, resolutions, and policy references.

The initiative is being implemented in partnership with the Vice Mayors' League of the Philippines (VMLP) and the Center for Local and Regional Governance (CLRG) of the University of the Philippines National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG).

According to the DILG, the e-Legis Project will foster greater collaboration among LGUs by creating a centralized repository of local legislation, making it easier for local governments to share policy innovations, adopt proven ordinances, and strengthen evidence-based decision-making.

The system is also expected to reduce paperwork, streamline legislative workflows, automate document formatting, minimize manual processes, and improve records management, helping local governments become more responsive and efficient in delivering public service.

As the DILG continues to advance digital transformation in local governance, the Department said harnessing AI and emerging technologies will empower LGUs to craft more responsive policies, strengthen transparency in legislative processes, and build smarter, more innovative communities that better serve the Filipino people.

READ | DILG’s Unified 911 saves lives through faster emergency response

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) urged the public to immediately dial the Unified 911 hotline during life-threatening emergencies, stressing that every second can mean the difference between life and death.

As the country's centralized emergency response system, Unified 911 bridges the critical gap between danger and safety by rapidly connecting callers to Command Centers, local government units (LGUs), and emergency responders, ensuring that medical assistance reaches those in need without delay.

Since its launch in 2025, medical emergencies have consistently ranked among the most frequently handled incidents by Unified 911, alongside fire suppression, search and rescue, and violence against women and children (VAWC) cases.

In Pasig City, an immunocompromised patient suffering from vomiting, cold sweats, and body aches was immediately reported through the hotline for ambulance assistance. Given the patient's history of stroke and hypertension, responders acted with urgency and precaution to transport the patient safely to the nearest medical facility.

In Iligan City, a caller sought immediate assistance for a 68-year-old man showing signs of a stroke, leaving him weak and unresponsive. Within minutes, the barangay ambulance, with medical personnel onboard, arrived to administer first aid before transporting the patient for further treatment.

Meanwhile, in Parañaque City, a pregnant woman who accidentally slipped called Unified 911 out of concern that the fall might affect her unborn child. Through the swift coordination of the National Call Center and the local emergency response unit, barangay responders were immediately dispatched to provide the necessary medical evaluation and assistance.

These real-life incidents demonstrate how immediate reporting, seamless coordination, and rapid emergency response through Unified 911 can lead to timely, life-saving interventions when every minute matters.

The DILG reaffirmed its commitment to continuously strengthening the country's emergency response system by ensuring that no second is wasted between danger and safety, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to build a faster, more responsive, and more reliable national emergency response system.

READ | Remulla to youth: Hold government accountable, protect democracy

The country's democratic institutions will only remain strong if young Filipinos actively demand accountability and participate in governance, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla said.

Speaking before students, educators, civil society leaders, and government partners at the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Localization Forum at De La Salle University (DLSU) Manila, Remulla underscored the indispensable role of the youth in advancing transparency, accountability, and meaningful citizen participation.

"Open Government can be achieved if the youth exercises their right to demand accountability," he said.

Addressing the students and faculty, the DILG chief challenged the youth to become active participants in nation-building by questioning government actions, speaking out against practices that weaken public trust, and ensuring that conversations on good governance remain alive.

"You must make us hear your voice... You must make us feel that, or nothing will change," he said.

Remulla emphasized that open government is not sustained by transparent institutions alone but by citizens who are informed, vigilant, and willing to engage. He likewise encouraged academic institutions to continue serving as platforms for critical discourse and policy innovation.

The DILG Secretary also reminded the audience that the freedoms enjoyed by Filipinos today were won through the sacrifices of those who fought for democracy, urging the younger generation to safeguard those hard-earned rights by exercising them responsibly.

Highlighting the importance of integrity in governance, Remulla shared his long-standing commitment to transparency, citing Cavite's recognition as the country's first ISO-certified provincial government during his tenure as governor.

He also outlined key reforms being pursued by the DILG to strengthen accountability in public service, including eliminating anomalous budget insertions, curbing procurement irregularities, and intensifying anti-corruption efforts within the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).

Among the department's transparency initiatives is the livestreaming of public bidding, which enabled the DILG to procure 224 vehicles at approximately ₱100 million below the projected cost, demonstrating how open and accountable processes can deliver greater value for public funds.

During the forum, the DILG formally accredited the DLSU–Jesse M. Robredo Institute of Governance (DLSU-JRIG) as a partner in implementing empowerment programs for civil society organizations (CSOs) and the OGP Localized Program nationwide, further strengthening collaboration between government, academe, and civil society in promoting open governance.

Also present during the event were DILG Assistant Secretaries Lilian M. De Leon, Elizabeth N. Lopez De Leon, and Atty. Brian Mey R. Tomas; DLSU Vice President for Research and Innovation Dr. Raymond R. Tan; DLSU-JRIG Director Dr. Francisco A. Magno; and Sci&Tech Philippines President Dr. Alvin B. Culaba.
