Over 4,200 infrastructure projects are now being implemented in communities nationwide through the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF), in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s directive to deliver responsive governance at the grassroots.

Monitored by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the LGSF is a national government subsidy to local government units (LGUs) for critical infrastructure that supports basic services such as roads, water systems, health stations, and school buildings.

As of latest data, 4,236 projects are underway: 2,228 funded under the Financial Assistance to LGUs (FALGU), 1,840 under the Support to Barangay Development Program (SBDP), 80 under the Support and Assistance Fund to Participatory Budgeting (SAFPB), and 88 under the Green Green Green Program (G3P).

This program empowers LGUs, especially barangays, to identify and implement projects based on local priorities. These include solar-powered water systems, local access roads, drainage systems, and multipurpose buildings, all implemented in partnership with national, regional, and municipal counterparts.

In Barangay Castañas, Sariaya, Quezon, a solar-powered water system built under LGSF-FALGU now provides clean, reliable water to residents. “Noon, mga poso lang ang gamit namin. Ngayon, meron na kaming patubig. Malaking tulong ito sa amin,” said resident Reynaldo Cabaysa.

In Barangay Canidkid, Montevista, Davao de Oro, a new concrete road under LGSF-SBDP has eased transport and improved access to services. “We are truly grateful. It’s cemented, and we no longer struggle,” said habal-habal driver Bartolome Baredo.

Meanwhile, in Leon B. Postigo, Zamboanga del Norte, the upgraded Level III water supply system under LGSF-SAFPB is addressing past waterborne illnesses and giving families peace of mind. “What changed the most is the hope,” said Mayor Runie Jamora. “This project solved the daily burden of water insecurity.”

The DILG, working closely with regional offices and LGUs, is committed to completing these projects and ensuring long-term benefits. Additional funds will also be released this year to support barangay-level priorities, with strengthened oversight in top-performing and high-need areas.

Through the LGSF, the DILG reinforces its commitment to build strong, resilient communities. This is not just an infrastructure program, it is a movement to uplift every barangay, one road, one water system, one project at a time.
