Expanded BPLS Implementation
BPLS standards were rolled out in the third and fourth quarters of 2010. Table shows the
progress of streamlining as of July 31, 2011; the overall accomplishment rate is 38 percent. NCR
and Regions 5 and 13 have completed reforming the targeted LGUs. Regions 2, 3, 11 have
completed 50 percent to 75 percent of their work and are expected to complete reforms by the end
of 2011.
The other regions, however, will need to step up activity to meet goals, especially Regions 1, 4A,
8, 9, and 10 whose level of accomplishment was only 13 percent or less by the end of July 2011.
Based on the meeting of the BOC on August 18, 2011, the DTI and DILG are targeting the
completion of the 480 LGUs by the end of 2012. To support this accelerated schedule, both
agencies have a budget to cover expenses for staff rolling out the reforms.

BPLS Reforms in Key Mindanao Cities, 2010
Given the new service standards set by the government, USAID’s LINC-EG supported BPLS
reforms in four Mindanao cities, complementing the work of DTI and DILG. The cities—Davao,
General Santos, Cagayan de Oro and Butuan—were chosen to serve as models to surrounding
LGUs. Butuan and Cagayan de Oro, where LINC-EG assistance has been completed, have
