The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) extends its congratulations to the newly elected local officials of the 2025 Midterm Elections who are preparing to assume their posts on June 30 and take on key leadership roles across the country.

With a renewed mandate from the people, these officials must now prepare for the complex responsibilities of local governance. We encourage them to participate in the DILG’s Program for Newly Elected Officials, a comprehensive initiative offering education, training, and support to help them lead effectively and responsibly.

We urge our new leaders to stay grounded in the realities of their communities, develop responsive policies, and pursue programs that reflect the needs and aspirations of their constituents.

We likewise commend the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and other government law enforcement units for their collaborative efforts that ensured generally peaceful and orderly elections. Salamat po sa inyong paglilingkod!

As the people have spoken, we urge both winning and losing candidates to come together in unity toward the common goal of serving the people even from a different vantage point. Tapos na po ang halalan at panahon na para sa panibagong yugto ng paglilingkod sa ating mga mamamayan.

It is our hope that our new leaders deliver on their promises as we collectively realize the vision of a Bagong Pilipinas.
