Institutionalization of Purok
Centers/Dapayans
Pinili, Ilocos Norte
1999
Indifference towards community responsibility, lack of unity, prevalence of inter-family
conflicts and problems concerning peace and order once characterized Pinili's 25 barangays.
To address this problem, the LGU subdivided each barangay into several puroks headed by a
kagawad. Each purok acts as an implementing arm of the barangay with a Dap-ayan (purok
center) or a mushroom shaped structure that serves as its headquarters. It is erected by purok
members through their own resources, initiative, creativity, unity and resourcefulness.
Regular monthly meetings, adjudication processes, barangay tanod planning, one-stop
information center for government policies and projects both local and national, livelihood
seminars, bible studies and celebration of the holy mass are held in the dap-ayans. It also
serves as reading center and classroom for non-formal classes, workshops and other social
functions.
The purok centers or dap-ayans are managed by elected officers with one or two kagawads as
advisers. Officials of these centers are also members of the municipal development council,
health board, school board and law enforcement board. Dap-ayans exist in 25 barangays with
an average membership of 32 households. Each Dap-ayan formulates its own policies and has
organized its own purok tanods to monitor peace and order and to maintain the clean and
green program of the LGU. It also implements various socioeconomic projects based on the
decision of its members. There are membership fees, penalties due to absences and failure to
perform assigned tasks formulated in their own dialect. Through the Purok system, Pinili was
able to assume responsibility to safeguard peace and order, cleanliness and settling of
disputes without extra costs to the LGU. Two important values can be learned from this
program: governance is not only the business of government but more importantly of the
people, and that people's acceptance of this responsibility to govern can change their lives for
the better.
This program is recognized as a Trailblazing Program, a finalist for the 1999 Galing Pook
Awards
Through the Purok System, people are empowered to participate in

community governance and take a pivotal role in the government's
programs especially on the environment, solid waste management, and
peace and order.
 INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE PUROK SYSTEM TO

PROMOTE COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE AND EQUITABLE
ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
First implemented in 2011 during the term of Liloan’s previous

Mayor, Vincent Franco D. Frasco, the purok system allowed the
Municipal Government of Liloan to further organize and mobilize its
14 Barangays by organizing smaller self-sustaining community
groups called “puroks”, composed of 20-30 households each.
1. Under the guidance and supervision of the Municipal

Government, each purok elects its own sets of officers and
maintains a roster of members composed of residents within
the purok area.
2. There is also a purok advisory committee in each Barangay to
oversee the functionality of the puroks in each Barangay.
3. Membership in a purok is purely voluntary and the services
rendered by the purok officers and members are purely
voluntary as well.
4. The officers and members of each purok are given skills and
capability trainings year round in order that they may be able
to implement the standards and criteria also provided by the
Municipal Government covering various aspects of community
governance. Each purok is also given an opportunity to build
on the standards and criteria provided in order that they may
have an opportunity to contribute ideas that are pursuant to
the priority agenda of the Municipal Government. (Please see
the Score Card for the purok system quoted in the latter part
of this presentation.)
5. Each purok is provided with an annual purok calendar of
activities which may be further enhanced by the members
themselves depending on the other priorities which they may
want to pursue in their puroks.
6. Each purok is put in charge of the cleanliness and
beautification of its surroundings, and tasked to establish its
own mini-park, flower and vegetable nursery, maintain a
Material Recovery Facility, and do a heritage mapping of the
area.
7. In order to incentivize community participation in the purok
system, the Municipal Government has organized a yearly
“Purok Week” celebration to give recognition to the best
performing puroks, barangays, and schools participating in the
purok system. In 2017, over 3.1 Million Pesos were given out
as prizes.
8. The Municipal Government has allocated over Php 26 Million
for Purok Capability Building, Solid Waste Management,
Greening Programs and Our Sustainable Cebu
9. There are now 230 puroks across the 14 Barangay of Liloan
with a total of 2,306 officers and members.
10. The purok system has also been given the protection of
law by way of various executive and administrative orders and
ordinances institutionalizing the same. This ensures that the
implementation of the system is stable and maintained no
matter the political climate and the change in leadership of
government over the years.
11. Puroks are given direct access to government services
through the LILOAN LOVES PUROKS program of the Municipal
Government wherein all the officials and frontline service
employees hold office in the puroks for a day to provide free
government services such as health services and vaccination,
legal services, civil registry services, business permit
licensing and real estate registry guidance, as well as help
desks specifically for senior citizens, women, LGBT, and the
youth.
12. This community-driven project has been so successful
that Liloan has reaped major awards from the Provincial
Government of Cebu as a top performing Local Government
Unit (LGU) for the past 7 years. Most recently, in 2016 and
2017, the Municipal Government of Liloan was awarded Best
Local Government Unit in Good Governance, Green Champion
LGU for Environmental Programs (2016), and Number 1 LGU in
Cebu in the Our Cebu Program. The Municipality of Liloan was
also awarded the Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping by the
Philippine Department of Interior and Local Government.
