Quezon City: The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has launched its Local Government Unit Support System (LGUSS) to comply with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s initiative for the digitalization of government services. According to Philippines News Agency, the LGUSS is a comprehensive platform designed to boost the efficiency of local governments, thereby improving public services. This system includes the Barangay Information Management System (BIMS) and the Cities and Municipalities Information Management System (CMIMS), both tailored to meet the specific needs of various localities. The LGUSS aims to automate and enhance the daily operations of cities, municipalities, and barangays. DILG Undersecretary Lord Villanueva expressed confidence that the platform would improve processes and the quality of life within local communities during the launch event in Quezon City. A survey conducted by the DILG revealed that 98.84 percent of 16,246 barangay respondents and 98.69 percent of 1,83 1 city and municipal respondents are willing to adopt the LGUSS. The LGUSS will expand in the coming years to include modules like Barangay Community Feedback/Request, Barangay Vaccination Monitoring, Barangay Projects Monitoring, Land Registration, Disaster Monitoring, and Collections and Remittance Monitoring. This system was developed by the Department's Information Systems and Technology Management Service in collaboration with the National Barangay Operations Office and the Bureau of Local Government Development. In conjunction with the launch, the DILG presented the SubayBAYANI Awards to 132 exemplary LGUs across the nation, recognizing their excellence in governance and local infrastructure services. Nine LGUs were acknowledged as top performers, including Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Aklan for provinces; El Salvador City, Pasay City, and Tuguegarao City for cities; and Pudtol, Buenavista, and New Washington for municipalities.
