Davao City reconstitutes awards committee for barangay peacekeeping councils

The Davao City government has issued Executive Order No. 36, series of 2026, reconstituting the Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Awards-City Awards Committee (LTIA-CAC), according to SunStar.

The committee recognises Lupong Tagapamayapa, the barangay-level peacekeeping bodies, that show exemplary performance in fostering unity and understanding in their communities. The city government said the move reinforces its commitment to honouring outstanding Lupon in Davao City.

The order is based on Republic Act No. 7160, or the Local Government Code of 1991, and on Executive Order No. 37, series of 2024, which originally constituted the LTIA-CAC and was issued on December 23, 2024.

Under the new order, the City Director of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Davao City Operations Office will chair the committee, with the City Prosecutor of the Department of Justice serving as vice chairperson. Members include the City Director of the Davao City Police Office, the President of the Liga ng mga Barangay, and the Davao City Director of the National Chaplains of the Philippines.

The committee is tasked with coordinating activities needed to implement the awards in the city, raising public awareness of the programme, and selecting and submitting Davao City's best-performing Lupon to the Regional Awards Committee.

Its funding will be charged to the Katarungang Pambarangay allocation under Lump Sum Appropriations, subject to existing accounting and auditing rules. The full text of the order is available on the city government's transparency page at davaocity.gov.ph.
