PA 101 Local Governance and Administration
The Role of
1. What is a Local Government?
As defined by the Code, the Local
Government refers to the political
subdivision of a nation which is constituted
by law and has substantial control of local
affairs with officials elected as otherwise
locally selected.
2. The Legal Bases of the Local
Government
It is the enactment of Republic Act 7160 known as
the Local Government Code of 1991
It categorically specifies that the state shall provide for a
system of decentralization whereby LGUs shall be given
more powers, authority, responsibility and resource.
RA 7160- is meant to transform Local Government Units
into a self-reliant communities and active partners in
nation building by giving them more powers, authority,
responsibilities and resources.
3. Decentralization - it is the transfer of power and authority from the
central institution to the lower or local levels of a government system.
It has three (3) forms
a. Devolution - is the transfer of power and authority from the national
Government Units (LGUs) as the territorial and political subdivision of
the state. The nature of transfer is political and the approval is territorial
or areal.
b. Deconcentration - it is the transfer of power, authority or
responsibility or the discretion to plan, decide and manage from a
central point or local levels. The nature of transfer is administrative and
approach is sectoral.
c. Debureaucratization - transfer of some public functions and
responsibilities which the government may perform to private entities or
non-government organization (NGOs)
4. What does Decentralization hope to
achieve?
a. It hopes to achieve the economic
development at the regional and local
levels.
b .The local Chief Executives are given
more freedom in carrying out their own
programs that are suitable to the
conditions in their respective area.
5. How does Local Autonomy enhance the
governmental and corporate powers of
LGUs
a. Full autonomy in the exercise of
proprietary rights and management
of economic enterprise.
b. Full authority to secure domestic or
oreign grants without the approach of the
national government agencies concerned.
a. Financial undertaking for LGUs for
mutual advantage thru loans and
assistance to calamity stricken LGUs.
6. What basic services and facilities were transferred
to LGUs as a result of devolution?
 Agricultural extension and on-site research of
the Development of Agriculture (DA);
 Community-based forestry projects of the
 Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR);
 Field health and hospital services and other

 Housing projects for provinces
and cities, and Other services
such as investment support.
7. What are the regulatory powers that were devolved
to the LGUs?

b. Enforcement of environmental laws- (DENR);
c. Inspection of food products and quarantine-
(DOH);
d. The enforcement of the National Building Code-

f. Processing and approval of subdivision plans-
(HLURB);
g. The establishment of cockpits and holding of
cockfights (Philippine Game fowl Commission)
8. What are the principles involved in the
decentralizations of LGUs?
a. Effective allocation among the different
local government units of their respective
powers, functions, responsibilities and
resources;
b. Local officials and employees paid wholly
or mainly from local funds shall be
appointed and removed by the appropriate
appointing authority;
10. What are the major salient features of
the Local Code.
1. It devolved to the local government
units the responsibility for the delivery of
various aspects of basic services that earlier
were the responsibility of the national
government.
c. Effective mechanisms for ensuring the
accountability of local government units
to their respective constituents shall be
strengthened;
d. local autonomy shall be facilitated
through improved coordination of
national government policies and
programs and extension of adequate
technical and material assistance to
less developed local units; and
e. The participation of the private
sector in local governance shall be
encouraged.
9. What are the mechanisms involved
in the operationalization of the five
general principles of decentralization.
a. Devolution of five basic services from the
national government’s regional
offices to the local government units;
b. Strengthening of people’s participation
through local governmental
mechanisms;
c. Increase in revenues for local units by
the provision of increased shares in
nationally imposed taxes; and in effect;
and
d. Strengthening the powers of local
executive officials and councils.
10. What are the major salient features of the Local Code.
1. It devolved to the local government units the responsibility
for the delivery of various aspects of basic services that earlier
were the responsibility of the national government.
These basic services include the following: health
(field health and hospital services and other tertiary
services); social services ( social welfare services);
environment (community-based forestry projects);
agriculture (agricultural extension and on-site
research); public works (funded by local funds);
education( school building program); tourism (facilities,
promotion and development); telecommunication
services and housing projects (for provinces and cities);
and other services such as investment support.
2. It devolved to local governments the
responsibility for the enforcement of certain
regulatory powers.
These include the following: the
reclassification of agricultural lands;
enforcement of environmental laws;
inspection of food products and quarantine;
enforcement of national building code;
operation of tricycles; processing and
approval of subdivision plans; and
establishment of cockpits and holding of
cockfights.
3. The Code also provides the legal and institutional
infrastructure for the participation of civic society in
local governance.
Specifically, it allocates to NGOs and Pos specific seats
in local special bodies as mandatory. These special bodies
include the local development council (LDC), the Local Health
Board (LHB), the Local School Board (LSB), people ’ s law
enforcement board (PLEB) and pre-qualifications, ids and
awards committee (PBAC). Because of their ability to organize
and mobilize the people, one door wide open for NGO and PO
participation in governance is in the area of promoting local
accountability and answerability, specifically through the recall
and people’s initiative provisions.
4. The Code increases the financial resources
available to local government units (LGUs).
Specifically, the Code: a) broadens their
taxing powers; b) provides them with a specific
share from national wealth exploited in their area,
e.g. mining, fishery, and forestry; and c) increases
their share from the national taxes, i.e. from a
previously low 11 percent as much as 40 percent
share of the internal revenue allotments (IRA). The
code also increases the elbow room of local
governments to generate revenues from local fees of
charges.

the internal revenue allotments (IRA). The
code also increases the elbow room of local
governments to generate revenues from local
fees of charges.
5. Finally, the Code laid the foundation for the
development and evolution of more entrepreneurial
oriented local governments.
It provided the foundations for local
government to enter into build operated-transfer
arrangements with the private sector, float bonds,
and obtain loans from local private institution, etc.
all within the context of encouraging them to be
“ more businesslike “ and competitive in their
operations and contradiction to “ traditional ”
government norms and operations.
11. What is the status of the LGU
operations under the Local
Government Code of 1991?
- It is of dual status
1. As political bodies corporate- By statutory provisions,
local governments are considered political bodies
corporate for the administration of the affairs of the
community within their territorial boundaries.
2. As incorporated or government aspect- They are
classified as municipal or public corporations and as
such possess dual character.
a. In their public or governmental aspect. They are
agents of the State, and for that purpose exercise by
delegation a part of the sovereignty of the State, such
as in the imposition and collection of taxes, preservation o
f peace and order, and establishments of schools; and
b. In their private or corporate aspect.
They are mere legal entities (similar to
a business corporation) performing
functions and strictly governmental.
They act as a corporate body for their
own purposes and not as subdivisions of
the state. It is in this character that
they operate, for instance, public
utilities such as electric facilities,
waterworks and public markets
12. What were the reasons why local autonomy
was granted to the LGUs.
1. Importance of local solutions to local
problems. Local residents are the
a. persons who can best understand their
own problems. They see their local
b. conditions everyday and realize their
importance as well as the urgency of
c. improving them. On the other hand, the
national government if often too
d. involved in its own problems to devote
its time to local needs.
2. Need for orderly management of local
affairs. A healthy “division of labor”
and close cooperation between the
national and the local government
result in an orderly management of
both national and local affairs. The
national government can devote more
time to the truly national problems
since the local government units are
adequately empowered to cope with
their own needs and problems.
3. Desirability if self-reliance. Self
reliance is the ability to cope up with
one’s problems by the use of its own
resources and skills. Decentralization
strengthens this capability of local
governments by giving them greater
opportunity to govern themselves. This
self-reliance can encourage civic
enthusiasms and initiative for
community development with a
minimum of assistance from the
national government.
4. Need for fullest development of local
government units. With greater powers
and functions, local government will no
longer be restricted in achieving their
goals. They are in fact provided with
almost limitless opportunities to achieve
their fullest development. They will
obtain for the local residents adequate
community facilities and services on
education, health and recreation.
5. Innate desire for self-government.
The desire for self-government has its roots in the past and
has always been a national goal. Filipinos used to live in small,
self-reliant communities called Barangays before the Spanish
era. Even the Malolos Constitution stressed the need for local
units functioning upon the basis of the most ample
decentralization and administrative autonomy.
The purely unitary system was imposed upon us by our
colonizers as politically necessary to have effective control and
administration of the country. While rejecting full
federalization, the constitution however provided the
maximum local self-rule possible, consistent with the policy to
grant genuine and meaningful autonomy local governments
including autonomous regions (art 11- sec. 25.)
 
13. What were the inherent problems, issue and
concerns in the implementation of the local
government code.
a. The lack/limited financial resources at the
local level and the need to generate alternative
means and mechanisms to supplement them.
b. Dislocation or displacement of personnel.
c. Low level of competencies among local
officials
d. Passive participation of the civil society on
planning and decision-making.

  • 16. 3. The Code also provides the legal and institutional infrastructure for the participation of civic society in local governance. Specifically, it allocates to NGOs and Pos specific seats in local special bodies as mandatory. These special bodies include the local development council (LDC), the Local Health Board (LHB), the Local School Board (LSB), people ’ s law enforcement board (PLEB) and pre-qualifications, ids and awards committee (PBAC). Because of their ability to organize and mobilize the people, one door wide open for NGO and PO participation in governance is in the area of promoting local accountability and answerability, specifically through the recall and people’s initiative provisions.
  • 17. 4. The Code increases the financial resources available to local government units (LGUs). Specifically, the Code: a) broadens their taxing powers; b) provides them with a specific share from national wealth exploited in their area, e.g. mining, fishery, and forestry; and c) increases their share from the national taxes, i.e. from a previously low 11 percent as much as 40 percent share of the internal revenue allotments (IRA). The code also increases the elbow room of local governments to generate revenues from local fees of charges.
  • 18. 4. The Code increases the financial resources available to local government units (LGUs). Specifically, the Code: a) broadens their taxing powers; b) provides them with a specific share from national wealth exploited in their area, e.g. mining, fishery, and forestry; and c) increases their share from the national taxes, i.e. from a previously low 11 percent as much as 40 percent share of the internal revenue allotments (IRA). The code also increases the elbow room of local governments to generate revenues from local fees of charges.
  • 19. 5. Finally, the Code laid the foundation for the development and evolution of more entrepreneurial oriented local governments. It provided the foundations for local government to enter into build operated-transfer arrangements with the private sector, float bonds, and obtain loans from local private institution, etc. all within the context of encouraging them to be “ more businesslike “ and competitive in their operations and contradiction to “ traditional ” government norms and operations.
  • 20. 11. What is the status of the LGU operations under the Local Government Code of 1991? - It is of dual status 1. As political bodies corporate- By statutory provisions, local governments are considered political bodies corporate for the administration of the affairs of the community within their territorial boundaries. 2. As incorporated or government aspect- They are classified as municipal or public corporations and as such possess dual character. a. In their public or governmental aspect. They are agents of the State, and for that purpose exercise by delegation a part of the sovereignty of the State, such as in the imposition and collection of taxes, preservation o f peace and order, and establishments of schools; and
  • 21. b. In their private or corporate aspect. They are mere legal entities (similar to a business corporation) performing functions and strictly governmental. They act as a corporate body for their own purposes and not as subdivisions of the state. It is in this character that they operate, for instance, public utilities such as electric facilities, waterworks and public markets
  • 22. 12. What were the reasons why local autonomy was granted to the LGUs. 1. Importance of local solutions to local problems. Local residents are the a. persons who can best understand their own problems. They see their local b. conditions everyday and realize their importance as well as the urgency of c. improving them. On the other hand, the national government if often too d. involved in its own problems to devote its time to local needs.
  • 23. 2. Need for orderly management of local affairs. A healthy “division of labor” and close cooperation between the national and the local government result in an orderly management of both national and local affairs. The national government can devote more time to the truly national problems since the local government units are adequately empowered to cope with their own needs and problems.
  • 24. 3. Desirability if self-reliance. Self reliance is the ability to cope up with one’s problems by the use of its own resources and skills. Decentralization strengthens this capability of local governments by giving them greater opportunity to govern themselves. This self-reliance can encourage civic enthusiasms and initiative for community development with a minimum of assistance from the national government.
  • 25. 4. Need for fullest development of local government units. With greater powers and functions, local government will no longer be restricted in achieving their goals. They are in fact provided with almost limitless opportunities to achieve their fullest development. They will obtain for the local residents adequate community facilities and services on education, health and recreation.
  • 26. 5. Innate desire for self-government. The desire for self-government has its roots in the past and has always been a national goal. Filipinos used to live in small, self-reliant communities called Barangays before the Spanish era. Even the Malolos Constitution stressed the need for local units functioning upon the basis of the most ample decentralization and administrative autonomy. The purely unitary system was imposed upon us by our colonizers as politically necessary to have effective control and administration of the country. While rejecting full federalization, the constitution however provided the maximum local self-rule possible, consistent with the policy to grant genuine and meaningful autonomy local governments including autonomous regions (art 11- sec. 25.)
  • 27.   13. What were the inherent problems, issue and concerns in the implementation of the local government code. a. The lack/limited financial resources at the local level and the need to generate alternative means and mechanisms to supplement them. b. Dislocation or displacement of personnel. c. Low level of competencies among local officials d. Passive participation of the civil society on planning and decision-making.
