The new set of officers will serve until July 31, 2028.

The LPP, representing the country’s 82 provincial governments, fosters unity and strengthens local governance through policy collaboration and capacity-building programs.

Over the next three years, the LPP will continue to support the President’s agenda by advocating for prior consultation with local government units (LGUs) on national infrastructure projects to ensure accountability, transparency and fairness.

It will also focus on solutions to the worsening solid waste management, frequent flooding caused by climate change and funding for disaster preparedness.

A primary goal of the LPP is to lobby the 20th Congress to amend the 1991 Local Government Code to update outdated provisions and enhance LGU fiscal autonomy. Other priorities include fully implementing provincial functions under the Universal Health Care Act and improving the delivery of quality social services to communities.
