The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) expresses its full support for Executive Order No. 101 issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., directing the full implementation of Republic Act No. 11321 or the Sagip Saka Act.

This initiative strengthens the government’s commitment to uplift the lives of farmers and fisherfolk by promoting direct procurement from accredited farmers and fisherfolk cooperatives and enterprises (FFCEs). It ensures transparency and accountability in public spending while reinforcing local economies and advancing food security across the country.

The DILG urges all local government units, as frontliners of local development, to support EO 101 by prioritizing the purchase of locally produced goods from FFCEs for their programs and projects,including local events, canteens, and disaster preparedness initiatives.

The Department stands with the Department of Agriculture, other national agencies, and the Office of the President in advancing inclusive and transparent governance that drives rural development and uplifts Filipino communities under a Bagong Pilipinas.
