2027 budget insertions
Projects in the House-approved 2027 budget that are not in the President’s proposal, for the DPWH office serving this district. Data: BetterGov.ph. Amending the budget is within Congress’s power; this is not by itself proof of wrongdoing.
Term-limit seat moves
Patterns where a seat stayed with this official or the same surname after a term limit. These moves are legal; the level measures how concentrated the seat became, not wrongdoing.
Accountability & legal records
This is not a “clean record” certification. It means no case has been entered and verified in this database yet. Check the Office of the Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan, and Supreme Court directly.
In the News
Reports from established newsrooms and official records that name this official in a case, investigation, audit or controversy. Each item links to the original. Being named in the news is not proof of wrongdoing; check the legal records above for the official status of any case.
Pulse check
Do you approve of how Joseph Tan is doing the job?
Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Isabela; a common surname is very likely to include unrelated families. The list above shows only the punong barangay and SK chairs.
A surname bloc is officials elected in one province who carry the same surname as last or middle name; barangay & SK officials with the same last name are listed separately. Shared names may not mean kinship, and a bloc is not evidence of wrongdoing. Definition and data:BetterGov.ph Dynasties

LGU recognitions during their term (4)
Awarded to the LGU while Joseph Tan was mayor. These are not personal awards: the seal or award goes to the local government unit, which includes the work of its staff, council and partners.
Recognitions are given to the local government unit, not to a person. An official is shown only as being in office when the LGU was recognized. Matched by office and year from election records (in office on 1 December of the award year). Sources & method →
