READ | DILG Launches Nationwide Digital Document Management System for LGUs

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has launched the Document Management System for Local Government Units (DMS4LGUs), a nationwide digital platform designed to modernize records management and strengthen efficiency, transparency, and accountability in local governance.

The initiative supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to accelerate digital transformation across all levels of government.

Developed under the Local Government Unit Support System–Cities and Municipalities Information Management System (LGUSS-CMIMS), the DMS4LGUs digitizes, centralizes, and securely manages official government records through a single platform. The system will be provided free of charge to all local government units nationwide.

DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla said the DMS4LGUs marks a significant step toward more responsive and future-ready local governance by reducing paperwork, improving records management, accelerating transactions, and strengthening coordination across LGU offices. He said the platform replaces fragmented, paper-based processes with a secure and reliable digital system that enhances administrative efficiency while ensuring easier access to government records.

Remulla encouraged local government units to fully utilize the platform, emphasizing that embracing digital innovation will help make government "more accessible, responsive, and effective for every Filipino."

He said maximizing the DMS4LGUs is part of the broader effort to build local governments that are "ready for the future and capable of delivering the quality of service our people deserve."

Prior to its nationwide rollout, the DILG conducted consultations and pilot implementation with selected local government units to validate the system's functionality and refine the platform based on operational feedback. The pilot covered the provincial governments of Cavite and Rizal, the cities of Quezon, Marikina, and Carmona, and the Municipality of San Mateo, ensuring the system was responsive to the operational needs of LGUs before its nationwide deployment.
