Municipalities of Boac, Buenavista, Gasan, Mogpog, Santa Cruz, and Torrijos has started convening the Municipal CBMS Coordinating Board (MCCB) which marks the start of the preparations for the rollout.

One of the goals of the 2024 CBMS is to update the social registries of national government agencies, particularly the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Aside from collecting data, the CBMS is intended to capture several factors that can be used for multi-dimensional poverty analysis, policy formulation, poverty alleviation, and economic development in cities and municipalities nationwide .
