Philippine LGU directory

A growing directory of Philippine local government units — population, barangay count, CLUP status (RA 7160 / EO 72 / DHSUD), SGLG record, and the urban planning context that matters for each city. Built for planning officials, sectoral analysts, and civic researchers.

This directory is designed to help local government officials benchmark their city's CLUP compliance progress (RA 7160 / EO 72 / DHSUD) against peer LGUs with similar population sizes, income classifications, and urbanization levels. Whether a planning officer in a component city like Lipa needs to verify provincial-alignment requirements, or a department head in a highly urbanized city like Quezon City wants to compare barangay-level submission rates with other NCR cities, this resource consolidates the data points that matter — in one place, with consistent formatting, sourced from PSA and DILG public datasets. For planning offices ready to move beyond manual tracking, Nova Gov automates the compliance workflow end-to-end — schedule a consultation or explore the pilot program to get started.
