Gonzales Republic Act 7160 UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 | iii Office of the President of the Philippines Malacañang MESSAGE We took a bold step, and a giant leap, on the road towards local autonomy when Congress enacted into law Republic Act 7160, more popularly known as the Local Government Code of 1991. Never before in the history of our country had our local government units been granted such wide latitude of local autonomy than under the provisions of the said law. This document entitled Unpacking the Local Government Code of 1991 contains a wealth of information vital to the on-going programs of strengthening local autonomy and local government units. I challenge all local stakeholders to increasingly strive for a meaningful, equitable, and sustainable local development as we continue to intensify our efforts in reducing poverty. Congratulations to the Local Government Academy of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (LGA-DILG), with the aid of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Habitat (UN-Habitat) for initiating this relevant and useful document as a tool for our local governments in adopting and implementing the kind of governance we are visualizing for the 21st century. ALBERTO ROMULO Executive Secretary Chairman, Oversight Committee on the Local Government Code of 1991 Republic Act 7160 iv | UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 Republic Act 7160 UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 | v Department of the Interior and Local Government MESSAGE The enactment of the Local Government Code of 1991 brought about radical reforms in the administration and development of our local government units. In fact, these reforms are in response to the clamor of our people for genuine decentralization and local autonomy. Hence, it is time for us to look back at the lessons learned on decentralization, recognize the collective gains and milestones in local governance, and move forward in setting the strategic directions towards strengthening local autonomy. While the Code may have been in place for more than a decade now, still there is an urgent need for a better understanding and appreciation of the issues and concerns on local administration as well as a unified interpretation of some of its provisions. But beyond understanding the provisions, it is also significant that the Code serves as the tool in creating a difference in the lives of our people who are the ultimate beneficiaries of decentralization and local autonomy. It is in this context that I commend the Local Government Academy for initiating the publication of a study entitled “Unpacking the Local Government Code of 1991” which could be useful for our local and barangay officials in carrying out their respective functions. At the same time, I extend my appreciation to the United Nations Development Program and the United Nations - Habitat for supporting this initiative. I am confident that the recommendations incorporated in this publication will go a long way in our quest for excellence in local governance. Mabuhay ang ating mga lokal na pamahalaan! JOSE D. LINA, JR. Secretary Republic Act 7160 vi | UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 Republic Act 7160 UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 | vii Local Government Academy MESSAGE The Local Government Code of 1991, otherwise known as RA 7160, set forth the process of redefining and reinventing the course of Philippine local governance. It has also paved the way towards local autonomy through the decentralization of powers and functions from the national government to the local government units (LGUs). The existence of the Code for more than a decade has unleashed the full potentials of the LGUs and its constituents, long held captive by a centralized administrative system. While some LGUs are now reaping the benefits of devolution with unprecedented developments, others are still hanging on to the clutches of the central government. It is within this context that the Unpacking of Local Government Code of 1991 shall guide the local government units to optimize their maximum capacity en route to sustainable development. Together with the United Nations development Programme (UNDP), and United Nations Center for Human Settlements- Habitat (UNCHS-Habitat), the Local Government Academy embarked on the arduous journey of reviewing the salient features as well as unearthing the dark areas of the Code. In the subsequent pages, readers will find different issues and concerns in the implementation and interpretation of the aforementioned law. The simplifications and omnibus recommendations compiled in this document will aid the national government, local authorities, private sectors, civil society groups, and other stakeholders, enabling them to play more effective roles in the implementation of the policy. With the incorporation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the analyses and discussions herein, this review will serve as a policy tool in monitoring and evaluating the Code as basis for proposing amendments on provisions which are not utilized to its full extent. It is the hope of the Academy, that this piece of work will find meaning and purpose among the local government officials, and all stakeholders in making local governments in the country effective and viable institutions for national development. MARIVEL C. SACENDONCILLO Executive Director Republic Act 7160 viii | UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 Republic Act 7160 UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 | ix Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines MESSAGE Local governance in the Philippines has taken a dramatic turn since the enactment of the Republic Act No. 7160, known as the Local Government Code of 1991. The Code has injected local governments with vigor and dynamism, creating the environment for innovations in local governance. Considered the most substantial legislation ever passed on the subject, the Code has granted intense debate and opened opportunities for political clarification, and legislative and administrative innovation as local administrators and legislators, national agencies, non- governmental and people’s organizations and sectoral groups struggle to interpret the statute in many ways that protect and further their respective interests. Expectedly, the result is a myriad of decisions, rules, regulations, administrative orders, circulars, opinions, and rulings that interpret, implement and clarify. The Unpacking of Local Government Code of 1991 fills in a critical void in providing a useful reference on local administration. As a reference material it will serve both national and local legislators, administrators and practitioners in the formulation of amendments to the Code. By compiling the recommendation from various sectors, providing simplifications, and citing other reading materials on decentralization, this work shows that there is a need to look into the salient features, as well as the dark areas in the Code. We therefore welcome this research done by the Local Government Academy (LGA) through the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Center for Human Settlements-Habitat (UNCHS-Habitat), as a guiding material for the members of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP). GOV. RODOLFO P. DEL ROSARIO National President Republic Act 7160 x | UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 Republic Act 7160 UNPACKING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE OF 1991 | xi HABITAT MESSAGE The United Nations Center for Human Settlements-Habitat (UNCHS-Habitat) is pleased to be partners with the Local Government Academy in promoting excellence in local governance in the Philippines. Among our efforts in this area is in connection with addressing the issues of improving the living environment for all people by attaining the twin goals of “Adequate shelter for all” and “Sustainable development in an urbanizing world.” We commend the Local Government Academy-Department of the Interior and Local Government for the sustained effort in inspiring more communities to adapt good governance practices in their respective areas. With the inclusion of documented best practices, the Unpacking of Local Government Code of 1991 is a fitting legacy that will serve as a guiding instrument for the promotion of decentralization, and empowerment of the local government units. We may look forward to seeing this document adapted and utilized by more local governments around the Philippines. Further, may this document serve as a valuable material for policy makers in their effort to strengthen and deepen local autonomy in the Philippines. To this end, the lessons learned and the valuable

  • The Barangay Justice System in the Philippines: Is It an Effective Alternative to Improve Access to Justice for Disadvantaged People?
    THE BARANGAY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES: IS IT AN EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE? Dissertation for the MA in Governance and Development Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex By Silvia Sanz-Ramos Rojo September 2002 Policy Paper SUMMARY This paper will analyse the Barangay Justice System (BJS) in the Philippines, which is a community mediation programme, whose overarching objective is to deliver speedy, cost-efficient and quality justice through non-adversarial processes. The increasing recognition that this programme has recently acquired is mainly connected with the need to decongest the formal courts, although this paper will attempt to illustrate the positive impact it is having on improving access to justice for all community residents, including the most disadvantaged. Similarly, the paper will focus on link between the institutionalisation of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and the decentralisation framework in the country. It will discuss how the challenging devolution of powers and responsibilities from the central government to the barangays (village) has facilitated the formal recognition of the BJS as an alternative forum for the resolution of family and community disputes. Moreover, the paper will support the idea that dispute resolution is not autonomous from other social, political and economic components of social systems, and will therefore explore how the BJS actually works within the context of the Philippine society. Thus, the analysis will be based on the differences between how the BJS should work according to the law and how it really operates in practice. It will particularly exhibit the main strengths and limitations of the BJS, and will propose certain recommendations to overcome the operational problems in order to ensure its effectiveness as an alternative to improve access to justice for the poor.

  • Conflict of Interest and Good Governance in the Public Sector — Looking at the Private Interests of Government Officials Within a Spectrum
    Conflict of Interest and Good Governance in the Public Sector — Looking at the Private Interests of Government Officials Within a Spectrum MARY JUDE CANTORIAS MARVEL* Introduction A discussion of good governance principles is timely amidst the backdrop of the coming Philippine elections. Patronage has always played a key role in Philippine politics and it may be wishful thinking to believe that the electorate will, this time around, choose their elected government officials based on platform and not on “who-can-give-the-most-dole-outs” but one can hope. Philippine local elections tend to be prone to dole outs in that, at the grass roots level, the public look to their locally elected politicians as direct sources of funding to spend on the town fiesta, a wedding, a funeral, building a make-shift basketball court where the town’s people can play a round of hoops to distract the unemployed, ad infinitum. This popular concept in politics has been named the “patron- client relations framework,” as defined in a study conducted by the Institute for Political and Electoral Reform: In this framework, political leaders who are of a higher socio-economic status (patron), acquire power by providing material benefits to people of lower status (client), who in turn, commit their votes to the patron during elections. Electoral exercises are often oriented to * The author is an alumna of the Arellano University School of Law (AUSL).

  • Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8047 (Online) GOVERNANCE OF THE BARANGAY CHAIRPERSONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF UBAY BOHOL Sheena L. Boysillo, MPA Holy Name University Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol [email protected] ─Abstract ─ Barangay governance plays a vital role in the empowerment of the local government units in the country. This is linked with the leader’s accountability, fairness, and transparency in the exercise of his duties and functions as a servant in his community. This study aimed to evaluate the governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay, Bohol. The researcher employed the descriptive survey questionnaire using quantitative design and a key informant interview using a qualitative approach. Results showed that the higher the IRA (Internal Revenue Allotment) given to the barangays, the more programs and projects are implemented because funds had been given to them as a subsidy for continuous developments. The results also indicated that majority of the Barangay Chairpersons were able to deliver very satisfactory public services in their barangays which also indicated that the core values of governance namely fairness, transparency and accountability were strengthened by the barangay chairmen during their term of office. The study concluded that the Local Government Code of 1991 paved the way for greater local autonomy to bring government closer to the doorsteps of the people.

  • Position Classification and Compensation Scheme in Local Government Units
    Chapter 9 Position Classification and Compensation Scheme in Local Government Units 9.1 Historical Background 9.1.1 Before Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1136 Local governments are political units composed of provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. They have long been existing with their own legislative bodies which are endowed with specific powers as defined in the Revised Administrative Code and individual local government unit (LGU) charters. These local legislative bodies were then called provincial boards in the case of provinces, city councils in cities and municipal councils in municipalities. These local legislative bodies were vested with the power to determine the number of employees that each office should have and to fix their salary rates as agreed upon by the majority. In exercising such power, however, there were no specific guidelines nor definite standards used in the creation of positions and the fixing of salaries. Position titles were not descriptive nor reflective of the duties and responsibilities of the positions and salaries were fixed arbitrarily. For local officials, however, laws such as Republic Act (RA) No. 268 as amended, and RA No. 4477 were passed by Congress fixing the salaries of municipal, provincial and city officials. These salary laws created a wide gap between the salaries of rank-and-file employees and the officials. 9.1.2 PD No. 1136 Cognizant of the need for a more effective local government personnel administration, PD No. 1136, “The Local Government Personnel Administration and Compensation Plans Decree of 1977,” was promulgated on May 5, 1977. Its salient features are as follows: 9.1.2.1 The creation of the Joint Commission on Local Government Personnel Administration (JCLGPA) to formulate policies on local government personnel administration, position classification and pay administration; and to implement the provisions of PD No.
