According to the report, health, education, agriculture and environment, roads and infrastructure, technology and security, and social protection (HEARTS) projects of the local government units (LGUs) have been ensured as their share in the National Tax Allotment (NTA) has been increased.
The report also stated that, citing the 2019 Mandanas-Garcia ruling of the Supreme Court (SC), the Department of Finance (DOF) on Wednesday said LGUs’ share in the NTA has been increased to 40 percent of all national taxes, instead of those only collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). “This means greater capacity for LGUs to improve the delivery of essential services to their constituents and strengthen the government’s commitment to devolution under the Local Government Code of 1991,” the press release said.
DOF said around 43,634 provinces, cities, municipalities, and villages received a total of PHP1.03 trillion in NTA this year, higher by 18.73 percent from the year-ago’s PHP871.38 billion.
The report added, LGUs in the National Capital Region that received the highest share include Quezon City (PHP8.53 billion), City of Manila (PHP5.35 billion), Caloocan City (PHP4.90 billion), Taguig City (PHP3.74 billion), and Pasig City (PHP2.61 billion).
Among the regions, Region 4-A received the biggest share at PHP122.68 billion in 2025, which is projected to increase to PHP141.15 billion next year.
