THE Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has backed the Anti-Red Tape Authority’s (ARTA) intensified crackdown on fixers, ordering all its offices to prominently display “Bawal ang Red Tape” materials.
The DILG directed its central and regional offices to post anti-red tape signs in conspicuous areas, as well as on its official website and social media pages.
The move aims to warn the public against fixers and illegal transactions while promoting faster and more transparent government services.
DILG offices were also ordered to display updated anti-fixing information materials and the official Client Satisfaction Measurement (CSM) survey to encourage citizens to report problems and give feedback.
The department urged the public to report illegal transactions through ARTA channels as the government steps up its campaign against corruption and fixers.
The DILG recorded a 99.50-percent client satisfaction rating in 2025, reflecting positive feedback on its streamlined services.
Compliance will be monitored through surprise inspections and spot checks by the Compliance Monitoring and Evaluation Office (CMEO) under ARTA’s Report Card Survey (RCS) 2.0.
The campaign is part of the government’s implementation of Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business Law, which seeks to make government transactions faster, easier and free from fixers.
“Red tape has no place in the DILG,” the department said, stressing its commitment to swift, hassle-free and customer-friendly public service.
