On June 22, 2026, DILG Region XI, through the Local Government Capacity Development Division (LGCDD), successfully conducted the Online Orientation on the Executive Order No. 103, series of 2025 (amending Executive Order No. 138, series of 2021) via Zoom.

As catalysts of good governance, DILG XI remains committed to guiding our LGUs toward a smooth transition, ensuring uncompromised public service delivery across the Davao Region.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Davao del Norte, under the leadership of Provincial Director Jonathan J.

The activity forms part of the Department's continuing efforts to support the review and proposed amendment of the Local Government Code of 1991, particularly in light of evolving governance realities brought about by the Mandanas-Garcia Ruling and the implementation of full devolution. Through the consultation, local government officials, DILG field officers, and key stakeholders of Davao del Norte were gathered to generate evidence-based recommendations aimed at strengthening local governance and enhancing the responsiveness of the Code to present-day challenges.

Facilitated by the DNSC research team, participants engaged in a focus group discussion to identify policy gaps, implementation concerns, and opportunities for reform, particularly in the areas of social services and fiscal administration.

Through this collaborative undertaking, DILG Davao del Norte and DNSC continue to promote evidence-based policymaking and stakeholder participation in advancing responsive and future-ready local governance reforms.
