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.

Local Governance Summit 2024: ULAP and DILG Forge Pathways for a Bagong Pilipinas in Ph LGUs

The Local Governance Summit 2024, organized by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP), convened over 4,000 local government officials and stakeholders at the Philippine International Convention Center on August 22-23, 2024. This year’s summit, themed “LGUs sa Bagong Pilipinas: Smart. Resilient. Driven.”, set the stage for local chief executives, elected officials, and other key players in governance to deliberate on critical innovations and strategies to advance local governance in the country.

The summit underscored the importance of local government units (LGUs) in achieving the national vision of a “Bagong Pilipinas,” or a New Philippines—one that is smart, resilient, and driven. The event provided a platform for sharing best practices, showcasing innovations, and discussing pressing challenges that LGUs face as they strive to improve public service delivery and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
