The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)
is the establishment and maintenance of a modern,
NBI saw its inception on November 13, 1936 upon
approval of Commonwealth Act No. 181 by the legislature.
It was the the brainchild of the late President Manuel L.
Quezon and Jose Yulo, then Secretary of Justice.
Tasked with organizing a Division of Investigation or DI
patterned after the United States Federal Bureau of
Investigation were Thomas Dugan, a veteran American
police captain from the New York Police Department and
Flaviano C. Guerrero, the only Filipino member of the
United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On the basis of stiff physical, mental, and moral standards,
45 men were selected as agents from among 300
applicants. To complement this investigative force was a
civilian staff composed of doctors, chemists, fingerprint
technicians, photographers, stenographers, and clerks.
During the Japanese occupation, the DI was affiliated with
the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Philippine
Constabulary known as the Bureau of Investigation (BI).
Subsequently, during the post-liberation period, all
available DI agents were recruited by the US Army CIC as
investigators.
Since then, the Bureau assumed an increasingly
significant role. Thus, on June 19, 1947, by virtue of
Republic Act No. 157, it was reorganized into the Bureau
of Investigation. Later, it was amended by Executive Order
No. 94 issued on October 4, 1947 renaming it to what it is
presently known, the National Bureau of Investigation
(NBI).

The “Two Pillar- Rule”
To keep the standard of professionalism in the

always been adhered to by the NBI. The legality of the
Bureau’s activity is assured by its legal and Evaluation
Division, which is tasked with providing legal counsel to
the Director, legal services to the Bureau, evaluate the

(CRD) and file his/her complaint under oath. Walk-in
complainants in field offices may see the chief or any agent
thereat, for purposes of filing his/her complaint.
When the aggrieved party cannot personally undertake
this, a letter addressed to the NBI Director containing the
said complaint shall suffice. The NBI in some instances,
may be called to attend to criminal cases already under
investigation by the local police. However, the requesting
party or aggrieved party shall so state in the complaint

Department of the Interior and Local Government
(DILG)
The present Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG) traces its roots from the Philippine
Revolution of 1897. On March 22, 1897, the Katipunan
Government established the first Department of Interior at
the Tejeros Convention.
A revolutionary government was also established at that
time and the new government elected General Emilio
Aguinaldo as President and Andres Bonifacio as Director
of Interior, although Bonifacio did not assume the post. At
the Naic Assembly held on April 17, 1897, President
Aguinaldo appointed General Pascual Alvarez as
Secretary of the Interior.
The Department of Interior was enshrined in the Biak-na-
Bato Constitution signed on November 1, 1897. Article XV
of the said Constitution defined the powers and functions
of the Department that included statistics, roads and
bridges, agriculture, public information and posts, and
public order.
As the years of struggle for independence and self-
government continued, the Interior Department became
the premier office of the government tasked with various
functions ranging from supervision over local units, forest
conservation, public instructions, control and supervision
over the police, counter-insurgency, rehabilitation,
community development and cooperatives development
programs.
In 1950, the Department was abolished and its functions
were transferred to the Office of Local Government (later
renamed Local Government and Civil Affairs Office) under
the Office of the President. On January 6, 1956, President
Ramon Magsaysay created the Presidential Assistant on
Community Development (PACD) to implement the
Philippine Community Development Program that will
coordinate and integrate on a national scale the efforts of
various governmental and civic agencies to improve the
living conditions in the barrio residents nationwide and
make them self-reliant.
In 1972, Presidential Decree No. 1 created the
Department of Local Government and Community
Development (DLGCD) through Letter of Implementation
No. 7 on November 1, 1972. Ten years later or in 1982,
the
DLGCD was reorganized and renamed Ministry of Local
Government (MLG) by virtue of Executive Order No. 777;
and in 1987, it was further reorganized and this time,
renamed Department of Local Government (DLG) by
virtue of Executive Order No. 262.
Again, on December 13, 1990, the DLG underwent
reorganization into what is now known as the Department
of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) by virtue of
Republic Act No. 6975. The law also created the Philippine
National Police (PNP) out of the Philippine Constabulary-
Integrated National Police (PC-INP), which, together with
the National Police Commission, was integrated under the
new DILG, the Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology and the Philippine Public
Safety College; and absorbed the National Action
Committee on Anti-Hijacking from the Department of
National Defense (DND).
The passage of RA 6975 paved the way for the union of
the local governments and the police force after more than
40 years of separation.
Today, the Department faces a new era of meeting the
challenges of local autonomy, peace and order, and public
safety.

On February 25, 1998, Congress passed into law Republic
Act No. 8551 otherwise known as the "Philippine

BUREAU OF CUSTOMS
The Department of Finance (DOF) is the government’s
steward of sound fiscal policy. It formulates revenue
policies that will ensure funding of critical government
programs that promote welfare among our people and
accelerate economic growth and stability.
The Department envisions that the effective and efficient
pursuit of the critical tasks under its wings revenue
generation, resource mobilization, debt management and
financial market development shall provide the solid
foundation for a Philippine economy that is one of the
most active and dynamic in the world.
The fact that the birth of the Department of Finance
predated that of the Philippine Republic is testimony to its
importance. Founded on 24 April 1897 by the Philippine
Revolutionary Government, the DOF has undergone
various structural and functional overhauls, but has
nonetheless remained a key department. At present, the
critical tasks of revenue generation, resource mobilization
and fiscal management rest on the shoulder of the
Department of Finance.
The government must provide the citizenry with
infrastructure, education, health and other basic services;
and the DOF must be ready with the funds for them.
Likewise, the DOF must steer fiscal programs toward an
investment-friendly environment, which is the catalyst for
growth.
VISION
•A strong economy with stable prices and strong growth;
•A stable fiscal situation with adequate resources for
government projects and budgetary which could be
adequately financed;
•A borrowing program that is able to avoid the crowding-
out effect on the private sector, and minimizes costs;
•A public sector debt profile with long maturities and an
optimum mix of currencies that minimizes the impact of
currency movements;
•A strong economic growth with equity and productivity
MISSION
Our economy must be one of the most dynamic and
active in the world, globally competitive and onward
looking. The DOF shall take the lead in providing a solid
foundation for the achievement of this objective, by
building a strong fiscal position, through the following:
Formulation, institutionalization and administration of
sound fiscal policies;
Improvement of tax collection efficiency;
Mobilization of adequate resources on most
advantageous terms to meet budgetary requirements;
Sound management of public sector debt; and
Initiation and implementation of structural and policy
reforms
