Each barangay is its own local government unit with an elected punong barangay and council. The code beside a name is its PSGC identifier — the number every national record uses for that barangay.

Officials are from DILG’s Barangay Officials Directory as it stood on 2026-09-26; 25 of these 25 barangays have an entry in it. DILG publishes no term alongside the names and updates the directory as barangays report, so a name here is the last one filed rather than a guarantee of who holds the office today. DILG’s directory also carries contact details, which are not repeated here.

“Held” marks a term whose office-holder shares a surname with the term before it. Surnames, not people — a seat passing between relatives reads the same here as one person re-elected, and in most of these towns it is the more common of the two.

Provincial board and the full provincial canvass

The offices, and who fills themEvery elected and appointed post a municipality has, and the barangay posts underneath it, with what each is paid. Set by the Bangsamoro Local Governance Code, so the ladder is the same everywhere.Where to find the current namesAnyone who took office after the 2025 canvass, and the barangays DILG has no roster for, are held by the offices that publish them.

What a municipality is responsible for.

These services are devolved to this level by the Bangsamoro Local Governance Code, so they describe what Lantawanis mandated to provide — not an inventory of what its offices currently run. For opening hours and requirements, the unit’s own hall is the source.

Health

Rural health units, health centers and barangay health stations
Primary health care, maternal and child care, communicable disease control
Purchase of medicines and medical supplies

Social services

Day care centers and child and family welfare
Programs for women, the elderly and persons with disabilities
Nutrition, family planning and community-based rehabilitation

Infrastructure and public works

Municipal or city roads, bridges, drainage and flood control
School buildings, health centers, public markets and slaughterhouses
Water supply systems and communal irrigation
Sites for the police and fire stations and the municipal jail

Permits, records and regulation

Business permits and licensing
Building permits and zoning enforcement
Civil registry — birth, marriage and death certificates
Real property assessment and tax collection
Reclassifying farmland — capped at 15% of the town’s agricultural land, 10% or 5% in smaller classes

Agriculture, environment and safety

Agricultural extension, seed farms and fisheries
Solid waste collection and disposal
Community-based forestry projects
Fire and police coordination, and disaster risk reduction

And at the barangay

Frontline services

Barangay clearance and certificates of residency and indigency
Barangay health station and day care center
Katarungang Pambarangay — a lupon of 10 to 20 members mediates disputes before they reach court

Community

Barangay tanod and peace and order at street level — one tanod per 200 residents, 30 at most
Maintenance of barangay roads, footpaths and water supply
Solid waste segregation at source
Agricultural support — planting materials and farm produce collection and buying stations

Money it handles

A tax of up to 1% on stores with gross sales under ₱50,000 in a city or ₱30,000 in a municipality
Its share of the real property tax — 25% of what the province collects on property in it
10% of its general fund set aside for the Sangguniang Kabataan
Its own annual budget, reviewed by the city or municipal council within 90 days

And what you pay it.

These are the ceilings the Bangsamoro Local Governance Code and its implementing rules set on what a municipality and its barangays may charge, with the deadlines that go with them. Lantawan sets its own rates by ordinance and may charge less, so treat these as the most it can be rather than the bill — the hall has the ordinance.

₱20, plus ₱1 for every ₱1,000 of income, up to ₱5,000 in all

About these figures

Structure from the Philippine Standard Geographic Code; population and land area from Wikidata, which carries PSA’s census figures with their census dates. Population is the 2024 Census of Population. Elected officials are the winners in COMELEC’s 2025 Certificates of Canvass, holding office to June 30, 2028.

Sulu is excluded: the Supreme Court removed it from BARMM. PSA census totals that still count Sulu will therefore be larger than the totals here. Cotabato City is listed as an area of its own, though PSA files it inside Maguindanao del Norte — the provincial figure here has the city taken out of it so the two are not counted twice. Province land area is the province’s own published figure, never a sum of its municipalities: Philippine municipal areas are self-reported and overlap, so they do not add up to the province they sit in. A blank is a fact about the record, not a zero.

A dash means the record has no figure — not a zero. Boundaries and office-holders change; where this differs from an official page, the official page is right.
