READ | DILG to Launch Document Management System for LGUs

In support of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call for digitalization, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will roll out in 2026 a Document Management System for Local Government Units (DMS4LGUs). This new platform will make local governance faster, more efficient, and more transparent.

Anchored on Republic Act No. 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business Act, the DMS4LGUs will simplify how LGUs handle records by digitizing and consolidating documents in one platform. This means faster processing of papers, fewer delays, and more reliable services for the public. The system will form part of the Cities and Municipalities Information Management System (CMIMS) under the Local Government Unit Support System (LGUSS).

Speaking at the 2025 Ease of Doing Business Forum in General Santos City, DILG Region XII Regional Director Atty. Rochelle Mahinay-Sero, delivering the message of Secretary Jonvic Remulla, underscored the Department’s goal: “The DILG is committed to modernize governance and push LGUs to automate business permits, licensing, and frontline services.”

With DMS4LGUs, the workload of local chief executives will be reduced, and the flow of documents within LGUs will be smoother. This will allow officials to focus more on delivering services that directly benefit their constituents.

The DILG also highlighted the significant gains already made in LGU digitalization. Today, 99.67% of LGUs are compliant with the Business Permits and Licensing System (BPLS) standards. In addition, nearly 10,000 permits for telecommunications projects have been processed in 677 cities and municipalities, helping expand digital connectivity nationwide.

To further accelerate digital transformation, the DILG, in partnership with the DICT, will capacitate 134 more LGUs on the use of the eLGU system until all local governments are fully automated.

Other Ease of Doing Business initiatives featured at the forum include eGov PH, the Energy Virtual One-Stop Shop (EVOSS), Paleng-QR for cashless payments, and the eLGU system.

Through these efforts, the DILG is ensuring that LGUs are equipped with modern tools to cut red tape, eliminate inefficiencies, and provide faster, more transparent, and more responsive services to every Filipino.

They stressed that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan is committed to creating legislative and policy spaces where the voices of the people—especially those from the grassroots—are genuinely heard and integrated into provincial decision-making.

Key lectures during the orientation included Understanding CSOs: Characteristics and Scope and The Relevance of Participatory Governance, facilitated by DILG Eastern Samar Program Manager LGOO VI Maria Lynee A. Medina, and Guidelines on the Accreditation of CSOs presented by DILG CSO Provincial Focal Person LGOO II Corinne B. Tan.
