It is implemented by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), in coordination with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Finance – Bureau of Local Government Finance (DOF-BLGF), and National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). The Municipality of Angono was chosen as one of the 16 focus LGUs in the country to undergo the LGU-PFM 2 program. One of its key project is the provision of technical assistance in the formulation of Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) on June 28, 2016. The formulation of CDP was jointly handled by the RIAT with the Department as the lead facilitator utilizing the CDP Guide Tool developed by the Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD).

Moreover, NEDA has given the guidance to Angono insofar as the vertical linkaging of their local plan to the regional & national plans. These collaborations helped the municipality in drafting their CDP which was eventually approved on December 2016. The success of LGU-PFM 2 in Angono, Rizal is attributed to the joint effort of the Regional Inter-Agency Team (RIAT) IV-A composed of DBM, DILG, NEDA & DOF-BLGF.23 BUSINESS-FRIENDLY AND COMPETITIVE LGUs
