MESSAGE
The crafting of a Citizens Charter in all government offices and agencies is mandated under the Anti-Red Tape Law of
Republic Act No. 9485 as a tool in heightening public awareness over the frontline service that we can offer our people
and how fast and efficient we can provide them.
A Citizens Charter specifically provides a listing of these services and the systems and procedures of how people can
avail themselves of such services so they can hold us responsible if we are not able to deliver these as mandated under the
law.
I am therefore elated that the DILG has come up with its own Citizens Charter considering that as the facilitator of the
Anti Red Tape Law at the local government level, it should lead example by being among the first agencies at the na-
tional level to have one. With our Citizens Charter, we will now be able to identify which offices perform well and
which fail the peoples expectations. This way we can address red tape more vigorously and rid our bureaucracy of ineffi-
cient and corruption-ridden practices.
I call on all officials and personnel of this Department to focus your effort on how we can effectively serve our clients by
eliminating red tape in all our frontline transactions. Let us strive hard to make a difference in the lives of our people by
serving them well with utmost integrity.

Brief History
The History
The roots of the present Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) can be traced to the old Department of the Interior
(DI) during the Philippines Revolution of 1897.
On March 22, 1897, leaders of the Katipunan led by their Supremo, Andres Bonifacio, met at Tejeros, Cavite in what is known in the
Philippine history as the Acta de Tejeros or the Tejeros Convention.
In that convention, a revolutionary government was established where officials of the newly-formed government, were elected with General
Emilio Aguinaldo as President and Andres Bonifacio as Director or Secretary of the Department of Interior. Bonifacio, however, did not
assume the post following a controversy over his qualification and educational attainment.
During the Naic Assembly on April 17, 1897, President Aguinaldo formed his cabinet and appointed Pascual Alvarez as Interior Director
or Secretary vice Bonifacio. The Interior Department was created in the Tejeros Convention and carried over to the Naic Assembly. It was later
enshrined in the Biak-na-Bato Constitution, as well as the Malolos Constitution.
Through the years, as the struggle for Philippine Independence and self-governance continued, the Interior Department has
become a premier office of the government, tasked with various functions ranging from supervision over local units, forest conservation,
public instruction, control and supervision over the police, counter-insurgency, rehabilitation, community and cooperatives development.
During the Japanese occupation (1941-1945), the Department of Interior was renamed Ministry of Home Affairs. The old Department of
Interior was twice abolished in 1941 and 1950.
After its abolition in 1950, the DI functions were transferred to the Civil Affairs Office under the Office of the President. Later, on
January 6, 1956, the Presidential Assistant on Community Development (PACD) was created.
The Department was restored on November 7, 1972 with the creation of the Department of Local Government and Community Development
(DLGCD). A few years later, the DLGCD was reorganized and renamed to Ministry of Local Government (MLG) and later as the Department
of Local Government (DLG).
On December 13, 1990, Republic Act 6975 was signed into law. The law, which took effect January 1, 1991, created the Philippine National Po-
lice, the Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, the Philippine Public Safety College and the Local Government
Academy under the reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
The new DILG also merged the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), and all the bureaus, offices and operating units of the for-
mer DLG under Executive Order No. 262. The passage of RA 6975 paved the way for the union once again of the Local Governments and the
Police Force after more than 40 years of separation. The enactment of RA 6975 has also placed the Department in its rightful place in history.
The Department is a
primary catalyst for excellence
in local governance
that nurtures self-reliant, progressive,
orderly, safe and globally competitive communities
sustained by God-centered
and empowered citizenry.

5. Establish and prescribe plans, policies, programs and projects to promote peace and order, ensure public safety and further strengthen the admini-
stration, technical and fiscal capabilities of local government offices and personnel;
6. Formulate plans, policies and programs which will meet local emergencies arising from natural and man-made disasters;
7. Establish a system of coordination and cooperation among citizenry, local executives and the Department, to ensure effective and efficient delivery
of basic services to the public;
8. Organize, train and equip primarily for the performance of police functions, a police force that is national in scope and civilian in character.
Organizational Structure
The DILG is divided into two major functional sectors: the Interior and the Local Government.
