The DILG-NCR proudly announce that all 17 Local Governments in the National Capital Region have garnered a “High Functional” adjectival rating in the 2025 Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) Performance Audit. 

The 100% regional success rate underscores the unwavering commitment of Metro Manila Mayors and Local Councils to the national campaign against illegal drugs. 

The ADAC Audit is an annual assessment conducted by the DILG to monitor the compliance of LGUs with existing laws and policies regarding the fight against illegal drugs. It aims to recognize exemplary performance and identify areas for capacity development. This audit, which evaluated performance for the year 2024, measures the effectiveness of local ADACs in implementing anti-drug strategies, sustaining drug-cleared statuses, and fostering community-based rehabilitation. 

The DILG-NCR acts as more than just an auditor, but a partner in governance, ensuring that every NCR LGU has the tools, training and technical support needed to move from compliance to excellence.
