Department of the Interior and Local Government

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is a government agency responsible for overseeing local government units (cities, towns, and provinces) in the Philippines. It ensures these local governments follow national laws, policies, and standards, and helps improve public safety, service delivery, and community management. The DILG also coordinates disaster response, promotes good governance, and supports local officials in effectively serving their constituents. Essentially, it acts as the bridge between the national government and local communities to promote efficient and accountable local administration.
