The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and its nine (9) attached agencies welcome the approval and signing of the P6.32-trillion national budget under Republic Act 12116 or the 2025 General Appropriations Act.

As the Department with the fourth-highest budget allocation at P279.1-billion, we extend our gratitude to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. for his support of our mandate to foster excellence in local governance, promote peace and order, and enhance public safety for the development of resilient and inclusive communities.

We assure the President, Congress, and the public of our commitment to utilize our budget responsibly, judiciously, and prudently in support of the administration’s agenda for prosperity by fulfilling the needs and aspirations of the Filipino people.
