CLOSE to 11 million people are benefiting from public infrastructure projects funded under the Local Government Support Fund-Green Green Green Program (LGSF-GGG), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said.
The DILG, which implements the LGSF-GGG program, continues to support local governments in building greener, safer, and more people-centered communities.
The GGG Program provides funding support to beneficiary local government (LGU) for the development and improvement of public open spaces and active mobility infrastructure, including public parks, bicycle lanes, pedestrian walkways, and sports facilities.
The program directly addresses gaps in urban development, particularly the lack of accessible green and public spaces at the local level, while ensuring that projects adhere to prescribed design concepts and environmental principles.
From 2024 to 2025, the LGSF-GGG received a total allocation of P1.755 billion.
A total of 135 LGU projects are currently enrolled in SubayBAYAN, covering the construction, rehabilitation, repair, and improvement of various public spaces and facilities nationwide.
The DILG said it regularly monitors the implementation of these projects and their impact on local communities.
In Muntinlupa City, the Bayanan Lakeshore Public Park was developed as a comfortable, safe, and accessible public space. The improvement has drawn positive feedback from residents.
In Navotas City, the Navotas Green Zone Park in barangay NBBN forms part of the city’s planned development of green spaces. Mayor John Rey Tiangco highlighted its benefits both to residents and the environment.
‘It is not just a place where you can relax, unwind, and take a walk. It also helps the environment,’ Tiangco said.
Meanwhile, residents of Pavia, Iloilo welcomed the improvement of the Municipal Public Plaza, noting how the project has made the area more attractive to residents and visitors.
The DILG said investments in green and accessible public spaces also help LGUs create more pedestrian-friendly communities, support active mobility, provide strategic spaces that can complement local economic activity, and improve the overall quality of life of residents.
Through the GGG Program, the Department remains committed to supporting LGUs in developing free, accessible, ecological, and people-centered public spaces, recognizing that sustainable local development must improve communities while protecting the environment, Local Government Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla said.
