Abstract
This study aimed to examine the extent to which Local Government Units (LGUs) in Lumban, Laguna support the Burdang Lumban industry through policy and regulatory frameworks, financial assistance, and training and capacity-building programs. conducted during the academic year 2024–2025, the research aimed to determine how LGU support affects the sustainability, effectiveness, and growth of the Burdang Lumban industry. To analyze this, the study used basic statistics and correlation analysis to measure the strength of the connections between LGU support and industry outcomes. The study employed a descriptive-correlational quantitative research design. Respondents included 40 selected participants: active Burdang Lumban business owners and LGU representatives involved in industry programs. Data were gathered through structured surveys and interviews, focusing on how effective LGUs are in policy enforcement, grant access, skills training, and working with stakeholders. Findings revealed that while LGU support systems exist, their impact remains moderate, with weak to moderate correlations across most variables. Cultural promotion and national support emerged as significant drivers of industry growth. The study recommends stronger coordination, improved funding mechanisms, and expanded training to ensure a more sustainable future for the Burdang Lumban industry.
