Uniting for Local Autonomy, Converging National and Local Growth

The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) is the umbrella organization of all leagues of local government units (LGUs) and locally elected government officials, and was formed in 1998, registered in 1999, and further endorsed through Executive Order 35, series of 2004.

Prior to its creation, ULAP was called the "League of Leagues", which played an important convening role for the local governments to lobby and develop the Local Government Code of 1991. ULAP was created to convene and represent its member leagues and local governments to national and sub-national policy and program committees in continuous pursuit of strengthening and capacitating LGUs for local autonomy and good governance.

51The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) met with Gov. Ramil Hernandez of the Provincial Government of Laguna to discuss various projects on migration and development, education, and land titling and property rights, on February 9, 2015.
Laguna is one of the pilot sites of PINOY WISE (Worldwide Initiative on Investments, Savings, and Entrepreneurship) that ULAP implemented with Atikha in 2012. From 2015 onwards, the migration and development project will be scaled up with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), to concretely mainstream migration in local economic development.
Laguna is also a target partner to implement K to 12 and last-mile projects of the Department of Education, and the implementation of the Residential Free Patent Act, which are projects supported by ULAP through its partnerships.
