READ | DILG: Local Sanggunian Cannot Hold Sessions Outside Their Jurisdiction

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Tuesday reminded all local government units (LGUs) that regular and special sanggunian sessions cannot be conducted outside their territorial jurisdiction, stressing that local legislation must remain accessible to the people it serves.

The Department said sanggunian sessions are official legislative proceedings of the LGU and, as a general rule, must be held within the locality, as provided under the Local Government Code. Conducting sessions elsewhere undermines public access to deliberations and decisions that directly affect residents.

The Department added that sessions held beyond an LGU’s jurisdiction may be questioned before the proper courts and could expose responsible officials to appropriate administrative liability.

The DILG, however, recognized limited exceptions in extraordinary and compelling circumstances, including force majeure, natural or human-induced calamities, public emergencies, and serious threats to safety or security within the LGU.

In such cases, any temporary alternative venue must remain open and reasonably accessible to the public and all sanggunian members. Proceedings must also be properly recorded, documented, and reflected in the official minutes.

In a separate reminder, the DILG emphasized that the vice governor or vice mayor, as presiding officers of their respective sanggunian bodies, must be counted in determining quorum to avoid legal questions on the validity of deliberations and enacted measures.

At the barangay level, the punong barangay, as presiding officer of the Sangguniang Barangay, must likewise be included in determining quorum.

The Department said these rules uphold transparency, legal order, and the people’s right to witness how local decisions are made.

READ | Children First: DILG Launches 2026 Child-Friendly Governance Audit for LGUs

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has launched the 2026 Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA), calling on cities and municipalities across the country to further strengthen programs and services that protect and promote the welfare of Filipino children.

The initiative supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to prioritize the health, education, safety, and overall development of the country’s youth as part of securing the Philippines’ long-term development.

In a memorandum circular, the DILG said LGUs will be assessed across five key areas: survival, development, protection, participation, and governance. These cover programs supporting children’s health and nutrition, access to quality education, child protection systems, youth participation, and local policies that uphold children’s rights.

To pass the audit, LGUs must score at least 80 percent in each category and achieve an overall rating of 80 percent or higher. Evaluations will be based on programs implemented in 2025, with data submitted through the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance Knowledge Management System from March to April 2026, followed by validation at the provincial, regional, and national levels.

Results of the audit will determine which LGUs qualify for the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance (SCFLG), conferred by the Council for the Welfare of Children.

DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla said the audit reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring that every Filipino child grows up in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.

“When local governments invest in children, they are investing in the future of their communities. Child-friendly governance means ensuring that every child is healthy, protected, educated, and given the opportunity to participate in shaping the communities they will one day lead,” Remulla said.

The CFLGA is a mandatory, results-based audit that evaluates how LGUs deliver programs and systems enabling children to access essential services and grow up in safe, supportive communities. It also guides LGUs in planning and implementing programs that ensure children receive inclusive services and protection from poverty through child-rights-responsive governance.

Since its inception, the CFLGA has yielded strong results and public approval. In 2025, a total of 1,090 LGUs passed the audit, a 21.9 percent increase from the 895 passers recorded in 2024.

“Great job to the LGUs! Prioritizing child-friendly governance ensures a brighter and safer future for our youth,” one netizen commented.

“Nakaka-proud makita ang commitment ng mga lokal na pamahalaan na unahin ang survival, development, protection, at participation ng mga bata,” another netizen said.

The DILG clarified that barangays will not be independently assessed under the CFLGA, as the barangay-level evaluation is implemented through the Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangays.
