An independent civic project — not an official government website How to tell

No seal, no .gov.ph address. Official municipal websites use a government domain and the municipal seal. This site uses neither, by design.

Every figure is sourced. Each number links to the government document it came from. Where they differ, the original document is authoritative.

These are the services in the charters the municipality published in 2022, on a website that is now offline. Fees, requirements and processing times are in each charter but are not repeated here, because they are the details most likely to have changed. Check the charter, then confirm at the municipal hall. For emergencies, see hotlines.
