Iligan City has 44 barangays, each headed by a Punong Barangay, commonly called the barangay captain. The directory below lists the Punong Barangay recorded for each barangay under the 2023–2026 directory period, together with the barangay contact number published in the source data.
The names and telephone numbers were extracted from a CSV copy of the Department of the Interior and Local Government Barangay Officials Directory. Thirty barangays had a telephone number in the supplied directory. Fourteen had no number listed.
Verification note: Barangay officials, office numbers and assignments can change because of succession, resignation, suspension, appointment, correction or database updates. Confirm the official’s name and contact number with the barangay office before filing documents, sending payments or relying on the information for a formal transaction.

The content brief originally framed the article around a 2025–2026 directory. The source data itself labels the records 2023–2026, so the article uses that more precise period.
What Does “Punong Barangay” Mean?
The Punong Barangay is the elected head of the barangay government. Residents frequently use the term barangay captain, but Punong Barangay is the official title used in government directories.
The Punong Barangay presides over the barangay government and works with the Sangguniang Barangay, barangay secretary, barangay treasurer, Sangguniang Kabataan officials and local service personnel.
For residents, the barangay office is the nearest level of government for many community concerns. It is commonly the first office contacted for local certifications, neighborhood complaints, residency matters, community programs and referrals to city departments.
How to Contact Your Barangay Office
Start with the number listed in the table. Since many entries are local landline numbers, callers outside Iligan may need to add the 063 area code and the appropriate Philippine dialing format required by their telephone provider.
A practical contact process is:
- Call during regular government-office hours.
- State your full name and purok, zone or residential address.
- Ask whether you have reached the correct barangay office.
- Explain the document, concern or service you need.
- Confirm the requirements, fee and processing schedule.
- Ask for the name or office designation of the staff member assisting you.
- Confirm whether you need to appear personally.
Do not send money, identification documents or personal information to an unverified mobile number or social media account. The official directory primarily publishes office telephone details, not private contact numbers.
When no number is listed
A missing number does not mean the barangay has no office or telephone service. It means the supplied directory did not contain a published number for that Punong Barangay entry.
Residents can contact the office through these alternatives:
- Visit the barangay hall personally.
- Ask the Iligan City Government for the current barangay contact channel.
- Check an official barangay Facebook page, when its ownership can be confirmed.
- Ask a barangay secretary, treasurer, kagawad or purok official for the office number.
- Use the DILG directory to check whether the database has been updated.
Confirm First: Social media pages bearing a barangay name are not automatically official. Check whether the page provides a barangay hall address, official announcements and identifiable government contact information.
What Services Can Residents Request From a Barangay?
Services differ according to the resident’s situation, barangay procedures and the purpose of the document. Common barangay-level transactions include:
Barangay clearance
A barangay clearance is requested for employment, business, permitting or another local administrative purpose. Requirements depend on the intended use.
Before visiting, ask whether you need:
- A valid government-issued ID
- Proof of residence
- A community tax certificate or cedula
- A completed application form
- A photograph
- A processing fee
- An endorsement from a purok or zone officer
Do not assume that requirements from another barangay apply to yours. Each office needs to confirm its current procedure.
Certificate of residency
A certificate of residency confirms that a person resides within the barangay. It can be requested for school, employment, government assistance, banking or another administrative transaction.
The office can ask for proof such as an ID, utility bill, lease document or verification from a purok official.
Barangay indigency certificate
A certificate of indigency can support applications for medical, educational, burial or social assistance. The barangay may conduct verification before issuing the certificate.
Residents should ask which agency will receive the document because the wording or supporting requirements can differ.
Complaints and community disputes
Residents can bring certain neighborhood or interpersonal disputes to the barangay for documentation, referral or mediation.
When filing a concern, prepare:
- The complete names of the people involved
- Their addresses
- A factual account of what happened
- Dates and locations
- Relevant documents or photographs
- Names of witnesses, when applicable
Emergency situations, active violence and serious crimes should be reported directly to the appropriate emergency service or law-enforcement agency. A barangay complaint process is not a substitute for emergency response.
Local programs and assistance
Barangay offices can provide information about programs for:
- Senior citizens
- Persons with disabilities
- Solo parents
- Children and families
- Health campaigns
- Disaster preparedness
- Community cleanups
- Livelihood activities
- Sports and youth programs
- Food or emergency assistance
Availability depends on current funding, eligibility rules and local implementation. Residents should ask the barangay office for the current program list.
Before Requesting a Barangay Document
A quick call can save a second trip. Ask these questions before leaving home:
| What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact document name | Barangay clearance, residency and indigency certificates serve different purposes |
| Intended use | The office can prepare the document for the correct receiving agency |
| Required identification | Some transactions require proof of identity and residence |
| Number of copies | Extra originals can require another request or fee |
| Published fee | Ask for the official amount and a receipt |
| Processing time | Some documents are released immediately; others require verification |
| Signatory availability | A document can require an authorized signature |
| Personal appearance | A representative may not be accepted for certain requests |
Bring original documents and photocopies when the office tells you they are required. Keep any official receipt issued for the transaction.
Understanding the Contact Numbers
The directory contains several number formats:
(063) 221-7271221-799630267152214455
The difference in formatting does not necessarily mean the numbers belong to different telephone systems. It reflects how the contact details were entered into the directory.
GoIligan has preserved the source formatting to avoid silently changing an official record. A reformatted number can introduce an error when the original data contains missing digits or an unusual local format.
One entry, Upper Hinaplanon, is recorded as 2236-7305. Since this format differs from the other seven-digit entries, callers should verify it through the DILG directory or barangay office before relying on it.
Barangay Offices With No Published Number
The supplied directory did not provide a Punong Barangay contact number for these 14 barangays:
- Bonbonon
- Bunawan
- Digkilaan
- Dulag
- Hindang
- Kabacsanan
- Kalilangan
- Lanipao
- Mainit
- Mandulog
- Panoroganan
- Rogongon
- Santiago
- Upper Tominobo
These records should not be filled with numbers taken from an unofficial directory, personal profile or unverified Facebook post. Leaving the field unlisted is safer than attaching the wrong contact number to a government office.
Why Some Barangays Share a Telephone Number
Acmac-Mariano Badelles Sr. and Santo Rosario are both shown with 221-1457 in the dataset.
This can result from a shared office line, an encoding issue, a common contact office or an outdated directory entry. The source does not explain the duplication, so callers should identify the barangay they are trying to reach as soon as the call is answered.
Do not assume that a shared number proves the two barangays share the same barangay hall.
Are These the Current Barangay Captains?
These are the names listed under the 2023–2026 term label in the supplied DILG-derived data.
A directory entry is a record of the information available when the dataset was prepared. It does not guarantee that no leadership change has occurred since the record was uploaded.
For a transaction requiring legal certainty, verify the officeholder through:
- The barangay hall
- The Iligan City Government
- The DILG Barangay Officials Directory
- An official barangay announcement
- A certified government record
The most important distinction is between a directory listing and real-time confirmation. This page provides the directory listing. The barangay or supervising government office provides current confirmation.
Iligan City’s Barangay Structure
Iligan is administratively divided into 44 barangays. These communities include densely populated urban areas, coastal communities, industrial locations, residential districts and geographically larger upland barangays.
Each barangay has its own local officials and administrative office. A resident should normally contact the barangay covering the address where the person lives, where the property is located or where the community concern occurred.
The article brief requested grouping the barangays into urban, rural and geographic districts. That classification has not been added because the supplied DILG file does not provide an official urban-rural or district grouping. Creating one without a cited government classification would turn a directory into guesswork.
How to Find the Correct Barangay for an Address
A postal address, subdivision name or local landmark does not always make the barangay obvious. To confirm the correct jurisdiction:
- Check a government-issued document carrying the address.
- Review the property tax declaration or land record.
- Ask the subdivision, building or property administrator.
- Confirm with the nearest barangay hall.
- Ask the City Government when the location is near a barangay boundary.
Do not rely solely on a map pin. Online maps can place properties near the wrong side of a barangay boundary.
Filing a Complaint With the Barangay
Residents can approach their barangay office to ask whether a concern falls under barangay-level complaint or mediation procedures.
Start by presenting a clear factual account. Avoid editing, exaggerating or omitting important events. Bring supporting records and identify the other party accurately.
Ask the office:
- Whether the barangay has jurisdiction
- Whether the other party resides in the same city or barangay
- Which form must be completed
- Whether a summons or hearing will be scheduled
- Which documents should be attached
- Whether another government agency should handle the matter
For threats, violence, medical emergencies, fires or immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency or law-enforcement service first.

Can I file a complaint by telephone?
A call can help you ask about procedure. The barangay can require personal appearance, written documentation or supporting evidence before formally accepting a complaint.
Can I obtain a clearance from a barangay where I do not live?

Keeping This Directory Accurate
Government directories need periodic checking. Readers who encounter a disconnected number or confirmed leadership change should verify the correction with the barangay or DILG before submitting an update.
Useful corrections include:
- A new official office telephone number
- A confirmed change of Punong Barangay
- A corrected spelling
- A relocated barangay hall
- A new official website or social page
- A government notice explaining a temporary contact arrangement
Personal mobile numbers should not be submitted unless the government office has formally published them for public use.
