The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will investigate the reported 27 non-existent barangays in Manila City.

“Magko-conduct tayo ng investigation diyan sa mga report na yan,” Interior Acting Secretary Eduardo Año said during the Rehabinayon press briefing in Malacañang.

“Wala tayong sasantuhin dito. We just need the information, the data, and we will conduct the investigation,” Año added.
