Based on the EO, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on Aug. 12, there was a need to enhance the LTIA System through measures that further promote it as a competitive, transparent, fair, and performance-based reward system.

The categories of awards for the manual LTIA are the following:

  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Highly Urbanized Cities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Independent Component/Component Cities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in First Class Municipalities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Second Class Municipalities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Third Class Municipalities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Fourth Class Municipalities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Fifth Class Municipalities
  • Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Sixth Class Municipalities

 

According to the EO, the Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa in Sixth Class Municipalities shall remain an award category until the new income classification takes effect under the Automatic Income Classification of Local Government Units Act.

The Hall of Fame Award shall be conferred to a Lupon who received the Outstanding Lupon Tagapamayapa Award under the same category for three consecutive years or for a period of five years.

Meanwhile, the Peace Champion Award shall be conferred to a Hall of Fame Awardee who sustained exemplary performance for a period of five years or more in the implementation of projects and activities funded by the development grant previously received by the Hall of Fame Awardee and has made an invaluable impact on the peace and order situation and administration of justice in the community.

Under the Local Government Code of 1991, each barangay should have a Lupong Tagapamayapa to mediate, conciliate, or arbitrate disputes between contending parties at the barangay level.

The LTIA was created in 1997 under EO 394 to recognize Lupon who exhibit exceptional and outstanding work in the performance of their duties, and award them with appropriate incentives.

 

 

Grant of Awards and Prizes

 

Based on EO 68, The LTIA National Awardees, including runners-up, shall receive their awards and prizes in the form of Presidential plaques and development grants to be conferred by the National Awards Committee (NAC).

The NAC shall determine the amount of development grant given to the awardees, subject to the availability of funds and under existing laws.

"The development grant shall be utilized to support projects and activities in promoting, implementing, and developing the Katarungan Pambarangay as an alternative measure to resolve disputes at the barangay level," the EO read.

"The DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is hereby directed to establish a mechanism for monitoring the status and implementation of these projects and activities," it furthered.

Under EO 394 (1997), national awardees shall receive a Presidential Trophy and P300,000 worth of development grant. Meanwhile, regional awardees shall receive P50,000 in development grant and a special plaque.

 

 

 

National Awards Committee

 

The DILG shall chair the NAC while the secretary of the Department of Justice (DOJ) shall serve as the vice-chairperson.

The other NAC members are:

  • Chief, Philippine National Police
  • National President, Liga ng mga Barangay
  • Representative, Office of the President
  • Two representatives from the private sector, coming from reputable organizations involved in peace and order or administration of justice, to be appointed by the NAC chairperson upon the recommendation of the NAC

 

The NAC, which shall convene once every quarter, shall set the guidelines and criteria for the selection and proclamation of LTIA awardees. These guidelines must be reviewed every three years.
