LEA-111 LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION

DILG- DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT

The present Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) traces its roots to the Philippine Revolution of 1897. On
March 22, 1897, the Katipunan Government established the first Department of Interior at the Tejeros Convention.
A revolutionary government was also established at that time and the new government elected General Emilio Aguinaldo as
President and Andres Bonifacio as Director of Interior, although Bonifacio did not assume the post. At the Naic Assembly held
on April 17, 1897, President Aguinaldo appointed General Pascual Alvarez as Secretary of the Interior.
The Department of Interior was enshrined in the Biak-na-Bato Constitution signed on November 1, 1897. Article XV of the said
Constitution defined the powers and functions of the Department including statistics, roads and bridges, agriculture, public
information and posts, and public order.
As the years of struggle for independence and self-government continued, the Interior Department became the premier office of
the government tasked with various functions ranging from supervision over local units, forest conservation, public instructions,
control and supervision over the police, counter-insurgency, rehabilitation, community development, and cooperatives
development programs.
In 1950, the Department was abolished and its functions were transferred to the Office of Local Government (later renamed
Local Government and Civil Affairs Office) under the Office of the President. On January 6, 1956, President Ramon
Magsaysay created the Presidential Assistant on Community Development (PACD) to implement the Philippine Community
Development Program that will coordinate and integrate on a national scale the efforts of various governmental and civic agencies
to improve the living conditions in the barrio residents nationwide and make them self-reliant.
In 1972, Presidential Decree No. 1 created the Department of Local Government and Community Development (DLGCD)
through Letter of Implementation No. 7 on November 1, 1972. Ten years later or in 1982, the DLGCD was reorganized and
renamed Ministry of Local Government (MLG) by virtue of Executive Order No. 777; and in 1987, it was further reorganized
and this time, renamed Department of Local Government (DLG) by virtue of Executive Order No. 262.

Again, on December 13, 1990, the DLG underwent a reorganization into what is now known as the Department of the Interior
and Local Government (DILG) by virtue of Republic Act No. 6975. The law also created the Philippine National Police (PNP)
out of the Philippine Constabulary-Integrated National Police (PC-INP), which, together with the National Police Commission, was
integrated under the new DILG, the Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and the Philippine Public
Safety College; and absorbed the National Action Committee on Anti-Hijacking from the Department of National Defense (DND).
The passage of RA 6975 paved the way for the union of the local governments and the police force after more than 40 years of
separation.
The promulgation of Republic Act 6975, otherwise known as the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Act of
1990, operationalized and initiated the call for a tangible reform in the country’s public safety services particularly for the
uniformed bureaus under DILG.

The same Act factually complied with the constitutional mandate for a unified single national police force, which is civilian in
character under the administration of the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM). Likewise, the same law upgraded the fire
and jail services as new and separate bureaus under the DILG stewardship.

The implementation of Republic Act 6975 brought to fore the significance of the establishment of the Philippine Public Safety
College. Section 66 of RA 6975 established and constituted the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) as the premier
educational institution for the training, human resource development, and continuing education of all personnel of the Philippine
National Police (PNP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).

Ang DILG ay Matino, Mahusay at Maaasahan

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

DILG is led by the Secretary of the interior and local government, nominated by the president of the Philippines and confirmed by
the Commission on Appointments.

NAPOLCOM-NATIONAL POLICE COMMISSION

Organized on September 12, 1966, by virtue of Republic Act No. 4864, which was approved on September 8, 1966. The act
created the POLCOM as an advisory body to the President on all matters affecting local police administration. Its purposes are to
promote a higher degree of efficiency in the organization, administration, and operation of local police agencies with the end view
that peace and order may be maintained more effectively and the laws enforced with more impartiality, and place the local police
service on a professional level.
After the EDSA Revolution that ousted President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the 1987 Constitution was made, giving birth to the new
government. Section 6, Article XVI of this fundamental law provides that, "The state shall establish and maintain one police force,
which shall be national in scope and civilian in character to be administered and controlled by a National Police Commission, the
authority of Local Executives over the police units in their jurisdiction shall be provided by law." In compliance with the
constitutional mandate, Congress enacted Republic Act 6975, creating the Philippine National Police under the reorganized
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). It was known as the Department of the Interior and Local Government Act
of 1990, signed by Pres. Corazon Aquino on December 13, 1990, and took effect on January 1, 1991, the PNP came into being
as a bureau under the DILG. This was challenged before the Supreme Court for unconstitutional in Carpio vs. Executive Secretary
G.R. 96-409, 02-14-92. It was contended that the law emasculated the NAPOLCOM by limiting its power to administrative control
over the PNP. Thus control remained with the DILG under whom both the NAPOLCOM and PNP were placed. The Supreme
Court ruled, however, that the circumstance that the NAPOLCOM and the PNP are placed under the reorganized DILG is merely
an administrative realignment that would bolster a system of Coordination and cooperation among the citizenry, local executives
and the integrated law enforcement agencies, and public safety agencies Created under RA 6975. Such organizational setup
does not detract from the mandate of the Constitution that the national police force shall be administered and controlled by the
NAPOLCOM. Thus, emasculation by the DILG of the NAPOLCOM does not exist.
The National Police Commission is the agency mandated by the 1987 Constitution and the Major Police Reform Laws, Republic
Act Nos. 6975 and 8551 to administer and control the Philippine National Police.
Under R.A. 8551, otherwise known as the “PNP REFORM AND ORGANIZATION ACT OF 1998” the Commission’s authority over
the PNP were strengthened and expanded to include administration of police entrance examinations, the conduct of pre-charge
investigation of police anomalies and irregularities, and summary dismissal of erring police officers.
In 1966, Congress enacted Republic Act 4864 otherwise known as the Police Act of 1966 to provide the foundation for the much
needed police reforms in the country. It created the POLICE COMMISSION (Polcom) “to achieve and attain a higher degree of
efficiency in the organization, administration and operation of local police agencies; and to place the local police service on a
professional level.”
Since 1966, the Commission had undergone changes in its organizational structure. It was reorganized in 1972 as the National
Police Commission (Napolcom). Originally under the Office of the President, it was transferred to the Ministry of National
Defense in 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree 765, known as the Police Integration Law. This Decree also established the
Integrated National Police (INP) with the Philippine Constabulary (PC) as the nucleus. Ten (10) years later in 1985, it was returned
to the Office of the President pursuant to Executive Order No. 1040. In 1989, Executive Order No. 379 placed the INP directly
under the “command, supervision and control of the President.”
The same executive order vested the National Police Commission with the powers of administrative control and supervision over
the INP. With the passage of Republic Act No. 6975 on December 13, 1990, the Philippine National Police (PNP) was established
under a reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). A new National Police Commission was created
within the DILG “for the purpose of effectively discharging the functions prescribe in the Constitution and provided in the Act.”
On February 25, 1998, Congress passed into law Republic Act No. 8551 otherwise known as the “Philippine National Police
Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998“ thus, amending RA 6975. This Act strengthened and expanded the Commission’s
authority over the PNP to include administration of police entrance examination, conduct of pre-charge investigation against police
anomalies and irregularities and summary dismissal of erring police members.
Exercise administrative control and operational supervision over the Philippine National Police (PNP) which shall mean the power
to:
1. Develop policies and promulgate a police manual prescribing rules and regulations for efficient organization,
administration, and operation, including criteria for manpower allocation distribution and deployment, recruitment,
selection, promotion, and retirement of personnel and the conduct of qualifying entrance and promotional examinations
for uniformed members;
2. Examine and audit, and thereafter establish the standards for such purposes on a continuing basis, the performance,
activities, and facilities of all police agencies throughout the country;
3. Establish a system of uniform crime reporting;

information systems, crime laboratory, crime prevention and crime reporting;
6. Affirm, reverse or modify, through the National Appellate Board, personnel disciplinary actions involving demotion or

7. Exercise appellate jurisdiction through the Regional Appellate Boards, over administrative cases against policemen and
over decisions on claims for police benefits;
8. Prescribe minimum standards for arms, equipment, and uniforms and, after consultation with the Philippine Heraldry

reflective of the civilian character of the police;
9. Issue subpoena and subpoena duces tecum in matters pertaining to the discharge of its own powers and duties, and
designate who among its personnel can issue such processes and administer oaths in connection therewith;
