Interior and Local
Government (DILG)
seal/logo shows a sun
draped by a dove-shaped
flag, to symbolize peace and
security. It occupies a
prominent place in the
center of the design to
reflect Government's
concern in bringing about a
peaceful and secure
community through the
Department and its
attached agencies.
3. The symbol manifests
DILG's commitment to
defend the Constitution of
the Republic. The shield (for
protection) has three stars
representing Luzon, Visayas,
Mindanao. The figure of
people in a circle, touching
hands, represents the
regions of the country and
typifies the capacity-
building and institutional
development role of the
Department, and the
necessity for teamwork and
collaboration in the
performance of its functions.

8. The present DILG traces it’s roots
from the Philippine Revolution of
1897.
On March 22, 1897, the
Katipunan Government
established the first Department
of Interior at the Tejeros
Convention.
In 1950, the Department was
abolished and its functions were
transferred to the Office of Local
Government (later renamed
Local Government and Civil
Affairs Office) under the Office
of the President.
In 1972, Presidential Decree No. 1
created the Department of Local
Government and Community
Development (DLDCD).
9. In 1982, the DLDCD was
reorganized and renamed
Ministry of Local Government
(MLG) by virtue of Executive
Order No. 777
In 1987, MLG was renamed
Department of Local
Government (DLG) by virtue of
Executive Order No. 262
Finally, on December 13, 1990,
the DLG underwent
reorganization into what is
known as the Department of
Interior and Local Government
(DILG) by virtue of Republic
Act 6975.
10. Republic Act 6975 also created the
Philippine National Police (PNP)

INP) which, together with the
National Police Commission was
integrated under the new DILG are
the Bureau of Fire Protection
(BFP), Bureau of Jail Management
and Penology (BJMP) and the
Philippine Public Safety College.
The passage of RA 6975 paved the
