To ensure that President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive for faster and efficient government services is met, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) recently came out with its Updated Citizen’s Charter containing the step-by-step procedures for availing the Department’s frontline services and the allotted time for the release of requested documents.
The modified charter lists out the necessary papers to submit, specific tasks of the offices responsible, as well as the duration of the processing period when requesting for documents. These charters are meant to act as a pledge of efficiency and is a requirement for government agencies under the Republic Act No. 9485, or the “Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007.”
Under the Implementing Rules and Regulations stipulated by the Civil Service Commission, these guidelines should be reviewed whenever necessary, but not less than once every two years.
The DILG’s updated charter was deliberated upon during a three-day workshop with key officers from central and regional offices that was held last October 2016. DILG frontline services
