Local government units in the Philippines have begun proposing and deliberating on fiscal plans for the 2027 year. In Laoag City, Mayor James Bryan Q. Alcid proposed a PHP1.67 billion budget, an 11.3 percent increase from 2026, intended to support urban resilience and public services. Cagayan de Oro City Council approved a PHP9.55 billion total budget for the same period.

At the provincial and national levels, budget priorities show divergence. The Cebu Provincial Board is considering a PHP14.6 billion budget proposed by Governor Pamela Baricuatro, which allocates 40.2 percent of funds to healthcare services. In contrast, the national House Budget Proposal (HB 10858) shows a heavy emphasis on infrastructure, allocating PHP83.7 billion for multi-purpose buildings, which exceeds the combined national allocations for public schools and health facility enhancements.
