The Local Government Code of 1991 has created favorable conditions for the
advancement of a local government unit. It has empowered local officials to move
forward for progress and development. However, the fact that good intentions are not
being enough, governance relies on skills and technology to confront an effective
challenge conducive to progress. Through the vision and mission we have interwoven
with concomitant goals and objectives, it is inevitable that we govern as development
manager.

Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 1
Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
The 2010 Presidential and Local Elections ushered in a new batch of local elected
officials in the realm of local governance. The Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) deemed it crucial to guide the new batch of elected officials so that
they will have a solid grasp of the national government agenda and its relationship to
local governance; build-up the economic capacity of their local area to improve its
economic future; and, to make the local economic development strategy as an integral
part of the broader strategic planning process.
The Newly Elected Officials (NEO) Program of the DILG was devised to address
these needs, and to promote the improvement of institutional and individual capacities to
implement term-based development roadmap centered on local development needs
correlated with the realization of national development goals. The Executive and
Legislative Agenda (ELA) formulation is an integral component of this program.
The legal foundation for the formulation of the Executive and Legislative Agenda
is based on the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) which provides that the
municipal mayor, as the chief executive of the municipal government shall “determine
the guidelines of municipal policies and be responsible to the Sangguniang Bayan for the
program of government; direct the formulation of the municipal development plan, with
the assistance of the municipal development council, and upon approval thereof by the
Sangguniang Bayan, implement the same; at the opening of the regular session of the
Sangguniang Bayan for every calendar year and, as may be deemed necessary, present
the program of government and propose policies and projects for the consideration of the
Sangguniang Bayan as the general welfare of the inhabitants and the needs of the
municipal government may require; initiate and propose legislative measures to the
Sangguniang Bayan” (Section 444 of RA 7160).
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 2
Each sectoral group formulated their respective development plans based on the
gaps identified by the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS)
and System on Competency Assessment for Local Governments (SCALOG). The
sectoral plans were conceptualized through a series of workshops conducted by the
Municipality of Leganes with collaboration with the DILG Iloilo Provincial Office from
July to September of 2010.
The vision of the municipality as stated in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for
years 2002 to 2012 was revisited. Upon inspection, the vision statement lacks a few
important sectoral descriptors needed in the formulation of various sectoral objectives. It
was decided that a new vision statement should be formulated to satisfy the required
format.
The sectoral objectives were all based on their respective sectoral descriptors in
the vision statement. Each descriptor was assigned success indicators which were then
translated into sectoral objectives.
These are principles and values that shall guide the formulation and
implementation of sectoral programs and projects, derived from various sources, notably
from existing development literature, from higher level plans, laws, issuances and
guidelines. The Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) have contributed a
great deal in this aspect for they are the repository of various development literatures.
Programs and projects that is not the responsibility of the municipality (refer to
Sec. 17, RA 7160) but are essential to local development will be elevated to the higher
LGU (i.e., province, regional, national). Various persuasion tactics can be employed by
the municipality to ensure funding and timely implementation in desired locations of
these programs and projects.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 3
Programs and projects alone cannot remedy all the issues and concerns put
forward by the different sectors. An enactment of an ordinance or a resolution is
imperative in the provision of regulatory and fiscal measures within the jurisdiction of the
municipality.
An analysis of financial statements for the past three years was undertaken.
Regular sources of income were identified and projected for the next three years
following the implementation schedule of this plan. Personal services expenditures, office
maintenance and operating expenses, debt servicing, and mandatory and statutory
obligations were deducted to determine the investible portion of local funds. The sifted
programs and projects list was then matched with the investible portion to form the
indicative three-year investment program of the municipality.
This Executive and Legislative Agenda consist of twelve (12) chapters. The
chapters and their respective topics are briefly described as follows:
Chapter II presents the general feature of the municipality, its demography and
state of the local economy.
Chapter III gives the updated vision statement of Leganes, descriptors and their
respective success indicators.
Chapter IX summarizes the result of the SCALOG and the identified capacity
development objectives and interventions on the fourteen different areas namely:
financial accountability; local legislation; development planning; revenue generation;
resource allocation and utilization; human resource management and development; health
and nutrition; education; housing and basic utilities; peace, security and disaster
preparedness; agriculture and fisheries development; enterprise, business and industrial
promotion; natural resource management; and, waste management and pollution control.
Chapter II
MUNICIPAL PROFILE
The Municipality of Leganes is one of the nineteen (19) coastal towns of the
Province of Iloilo. It is the only coastal municipality that shares a common border with
Iloilo City, which is the provincial capital and regional administration center of Western
Visayas in Region VI. It is located along the Guimaras Strait, opposite the town of
Buenavista (which is only about 4.5 kilometers from Leganes’ shoreline) in the island –
Province of Guimaras. It is adjacent to the City of Iloilo in the South, bounded by Pavia
in the Southeast, Sta. Barbara in the West and Zarraga in the North. It is eleven (11)
kilometers from the Poblacion of Pavia and approximately five (5) kilometers from the
Poblacion of Zarraga. Leganes can be found between the coordinates of 1220 39’35” west
to 1220 39’45” east latitude and between 100 51’48” north to 100 45’15” south longitude.
Leganes has a total land area of 3,220 hectares. It ranks as the third smallest town
of the forty two (42) municipalities and one (1) component city of the province of Iloilo.
The smallest town is San Miguel with an area of 2,138 hectares. The second smallest
municipality is Pavia which has a land area of 3,301. It is smaller in Leganes by only 81
hectares. The Poblacion of Leganes has a total land area of 58.9196 hectares.
2.1.3 Topography
Well-cultivated fields, coconut trees and bamboo clumps dominate the landscape
of the entire municipality. The terrain is characterized by level plains but slightly higher
in the northwest of Lapayon and Calaboa with a slope not exceeding 3%.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 6
The plains are of prime agricultural lands that produce rice, which is the
municipality’s prime commodity. The areas along the coastline are swampy and a large
portion of these swampy areas had been converted into fishponds and salt-beds.
The soil of Leganes is classified by the Bureau of Soils in two categories: soil of
swamps and marshes and soil of the lowlands and plains. The lowland plain soil is of
Sta. Rita clay loam variety, which covers 75% of Leganes or 2,415.5 hectares of land.
The swamps and marsh land is of Umingan fine sandy loam type which covers 25% or
804.5 hectares. This type of soil can be found in portions of Barangay Cari Mayor, Cari
Minor, Nabitasan, Gua-an, Napnud and MV Hechanova. There is no forest area in
Leganes.
Leganes’ sources of Level III potable water are the deep wells in the barangays of
Guihaman and Cagamutan Sur. The municipality has adequate underground water
supply, which can be tapped for domestic and commercial uses. The surface water in
Calaboa Creek, Carismo-an Creek and Janipa-an River are utilized for irrigation
purposes.
Buntatala and Janipa-an Rivers serve as the main natural drainage to the sea.
Janipa-an River winds from Calaboa to Cagamutan Norte to Cari Mayor where it merges
with Buntatala River then to the Jalaur River that empties into the Iloilo Strait. Buntatala
River traverses the barangays of Buntatala, Guintas, Napnud, Guinobatan, Gua-an, Cari
Minor, Cari Mayor and Nabitasan where it merges with Janipa-an and Jalaur Rivers at the
boundary of barangays Cari Mayor and Nabitasan.
The two rivers (Buntatala and Janipa-an) had ceased to be effective natural water
drainage since their course have been narrowed and obstructed by nipa clumps, vegetable
growth, floating logs, debris, rubbish and indiscriminate construction of fishpond dikes
along both banks of the rivers. These obstructions have created bottlenecks that force
back water during continuous rain and spill-off towards the low-lying residential and
agricultural areas of the municipality.
Tributaries of Janipa-an and Buntatala Rivers traversing the swamp lands to the
sea are no longer visible having been converted into fishponds. The canals and natural
outlets of water are fast disappearing due to the rapid pace of development. Manmade
structures have contributed to the declining situation of the natural drainage.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 7
Leganes has two distinct seasons – wet and dry. The wet season is from July to
November and the dry season is from December to June. It is cold is the months of
December, January and February and usually hot during the summer months of March,
April and May. There is a slight difference in the weather condition in the barangays
along the coast compared to the non-coastal barangays as the former barangays are more
humid due to their proximity to the sea.
2.1.8 Accessibility
Leganes is only about 11 kilometers from Iloilo City and about 13 kilometers
from the Iloilo Airport through the provincial access road. It can be reached from Iloilo
City through the National Highway to the North or the Coastal Highway to the
Municipality of Dumangas. The Coastal Road serves as the shorter link of the town to
the International Port in Bo. Obrero, Lapuz, Iloilo City and to some of the municipalities
in the North. There are also barangay roads that connect the municipality to the adjacent
towns like Sta. Barbara and Pavia.

VISION AND VISION ELEMENTS
The vision of the Municipality of Leganes will serve as a guide to which all plans,
programs, and projects of the municipality from the year 2010 to 2013 will be anchored.
It sets the desired role the municipality can play in the development of its wider region of
which it is an integral part, and the desired state of the municipality as a human habitat.
Thus we envision:
The vision statement portrays the end-state scenario of the five development
sectors of the municipality namely, the quality of the local population, the state of the
local economy, the condition of the natural environment, the features of the built
environment, and the capability of the local leaders.
c. The residents of Leganes are empowered when there is an increase in the school
participation rate and decrease in the drop-out rate, improved quality of primary
healthcare and nutritional status of preschool and school children, and reduced
disaster risk.
b. The people of Leganes requires a proactive local government that will establish a
stockpile response needs and automated data banking network, and update all
municipal plans and ordinances whenever applicable.
c. Being dynamic would entail the consistent prompt delivery of services to clients,
improved efficiency in business transactions, institutionalize feedback
mechanism, ensure continuity of government transactions, and comply with
statutory obligations as required by pertinent laws and issuances.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 22
Chapter IV
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Accessibility to far flung areas of the municipality has never been an issue.
National, provincial, municipal, barangay and NIA access roads give mobility to people,
products and services which means access to basic services such as health and welfare is
only a few minutes away wherever in the municipality.
The main rural health unit (RHU) of the municipality is an accredited Sentrong
Sigla with available laboratory, maternal, child care, and referral services. The staff of the
RHU composed of one (1) doctor, two (2) nurses, one (1) medical technologist, and four
(4) midwives, who are on call twenty four hours a day to attend to the needs of the public.
The church is famous for the palapak wherein the statue of San Vicente Ferrer is
treaded on one’s head and believed to heal all sorts of ailments. The palapak is usually
coupled by a saad – a spiritual vow of sacrifice in exchange for the favors being asked. In
April 4, 2008, Archbishop Angel N. Lagdameo, Archbishop of Jaro, declared and
proclaimed the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer as a diocesan shrine.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 23
5. High performer in sports especially in swimming, dance sport and ball games
Students from the public schools of Leganes have been consistently ranked above
other municipalities and cities in sports like swimming, dance sport and ball games in the
Congressional District Sports Association (CDSA), provincial and regional meet every
year.
The Saad Festival of the municipality was started in 2005 but until now the
appropriation for such activity is still discretionary rather than mandatory. The festival
has yet to be deemed sustainable in the face of an ever changing socio-economic
landscape of the region. Furthermore, the preservation and conservation efforts for
tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the municipality have taken the backseat to
activities that have high economic returns.
Every barangay in the municipality have a basketball court but other areas of
athletic endeavors are neglected. Sports like track and field, and swimming, in which
students from local schools excel, are not provided with adequate facilities and financial
support to further hone their skill.
Programs and projects implemented in the local level lack the financial stability
that will ensure sustainability in the long-run. Funding for social development programs
are dependent on the ability of the LGU to finance such undertaking. Programs that have
proved their effectiveness and efficacy can be abruptly suspended for the lack of funds.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 24
The issue is further aggravated by poor documentation efforts in the part of the
implementers that can be used to lobby for local appropriation or external funding.
46. The increasing incidence of violence and vices in school campuses brought about
by illegal organization introduced by outsiders such as gangs and etc.

Chapter V
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Leganes is only about eleven kilometers from Iloilo City and few kilometers from
the Iloilo Airport of International Standards. It can be reached from Iloilo City through
the National Highway to the north or the Coastal Highway to the Municipality of
Dumangas. The Coastal Road serves as the shorter link of the town to the International
Port in Barrio Obrero, Lapuz, Iloilo City and to some of the municipalities in the north.
There are also barangay roads that connect the municipality to the adjacent towns like
Sta. Barbara and Pavia.
The terrain of the municipality is characterized by level plains with a slope not
exceeding 3%. The soil of the municipality can be classified in two categories: the Sta.
Rita clay loam variety, which covers 75%, and the Umingan fine sandy loam type which
covers the rest of the 25%.
The plains are of prime agricultural lands that produce rice, which is the
municipality’s prime commodity. Of the total 2,065.28 hectares devoted for rice
production, 82.07% are irrigated. Surface water in Calaboa Creek, Carismo-an Creek and
Janipa-an River are utilized for such purpose. Post-harvest facilities are also available in
majority of the barangays (Table 24).
The areas along the coastline are swampy and a large portion of these swampy
areas had been converted into fishponds and salt-beds. The municipal government owns a
187 hectare fishpond that can be utilized to generate jobs in the coastal area.
The local investment incentives code was enacted to attract and encourage
investments activities that will provide livelihood and employment opportunities to the
residents of the municipality. This will serve as an instrument in the rapid economic
transformation that the municipality aims for.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 33
4. Tourism prospect
Recent efforts of the municipality to reforest and conserve its mangrove areas
with the support of non-governmental organizations have been successful in abating
further degradation and preserve, if not restore biodiversity in the coastal areas. The
Jalaur river system also has a high potential for ecotourism with its diverse fauna and
thick nipa growths Jointly, the two areas will be the springboard on which the
municipality can realign itself to become an ecotourism site in the Metro-Iloilo area.
Water supply for agriculture has decreased in recent years with the onset of
climate change and the El Niño phenomenon. The local government has yet to identify
alternative water source for agricultural purposes considering that majority of farmers are
dependent on the irrigation system to provide water for their crops.
3. Underdeveloped roads
The transport system has the ability to reshape a town’s physical and economic
pattern. From fragmented urban and isolated rural economies, the municipality can be
developed into a unified, well-integrated economy where people and goods can move and
trade swiftly and efficiently, locally and internationally.
The municipal transport system relies heavily on the road network. While national
roads serve priority production areas and population centers, roads that lead to many
tourism destinations and rural areas are inadequate. Based on national data of
approximately 202,000 kilometers (km) of roads nationwide, 15 percent are classified as
national roads, 13 percent are provincial roads, while city/municipal roads constitute 11
percent of the total. The balance of 60 percent of the road network is classified as
barangay roads, which are mostly unpaved. Farm-to-market roads fall under this last
category. The maintenance of these barangay roads have been devolved to local
government units, but due to limited local resource, the quality of these roads have been
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 34
declining. The yearly effort of the LGU of regraveling is only a palliative solution to this
issue.
Efforts to increase mobility of goods and services from the urban center to the
rural communities have to be more sustainable to achieve the economic development the
municipal government aims to achieve.
The City of Iloilo has been the strongest competitor of the municipality in
attracting local and foreign investors. The Iloilo City is the economic and administrative
center of the province. People from neighboring towns come to Iloilo City to seek
employment, invest and for leisure.
Local residents choose to spend their money in Iloilo City because of the diverse
and affordable choices that are available. Economic development is dependent on the
capacity of the local economy to generate revenues and attract local and foreign

There is a large gap between the demand and supply of power in the Province of
Iloilo that has not only resulted to rotating blackouts but it has also driven up the price of
electricity. With increasing household and commercial power consumption, no
sustainable solution has been undertaken to address the issue of inadequacy.
7. Climate change
Being a coastal town, Leganes has not taken steps in adapting to the adverse
effects of climate change in safeguarding the lives and livelihood of its residents. Coastal
barangays will be the most vulnerable. Climate change has accelerated erosion and
resulted to flooding.
The erratic change in weather patterns has also affected various agricultural crops
inland. The decrease in the number of cropping seasons and water availability has
negative impacts on volume of production.

PRIORITY LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The proposed programs and projects that must be implemented in the next three
years can be supported by legislation spearheaded by either the Local Chief Executive or
the Sangguniang Bayan. These legislations will be the legal backbone of the programs
and projects and will ensure the implementation process to its completion.
1. An ordinance setting the guidelines for the housing program – Leganes Pabahay
sa Mahirap Program (LPMP);
2. An ordinance creating the Social Welfare Officer I and Social Welfare Officer
II positions under the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office and
appropriating funds thereof;
3. A resolution authorizing the donation of an identified lot for the Leganes Police
Station and the Bureau of Fire Protection with a minimum area of 300 square
meters each.
10.4 On Administration
10.5 On Governance
1. An ordinance updating the revenue code, investment incentives code, and code of
general ordinances;
2. An ordinance approving the market code, children's code, gender and
development code, environment code, health and sanitation code of the
municipality;
3. Enactment of the zoning ordinance, updating of the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan of Leganes.
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 76
Chapter XI
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION STRATEGIES
Simple regression was employed to project and analyze the future fiscal standing
of the municipality.
Table 39. Actual and Projected Income and Expenditures for the General Fund,
Year 2007 to 2013
Table 40. Actual and Projected Income and Expenditures for the Local Economic
Development Office, Year 2007 to 2013
The General Fund will register a surplus if the local government will continue its
current rate of expenditures, while the local economic enterprise will experience a deficit
if no new sources of revenue can be found or if expenditure cannot be reduced for the
years 2011 to 2013.
It is unlikely that the proposed programs and projects in the previous chapters can
be covered by the available funds for investment. Given this unbalance the municipality
Leganes Executive and Legislative Agenda 2010-2013 77
has a number of options to consider and take, namely: 1) to cut down on the number of
projects, 2) augment available resources through improved fiscal management, i.e.,
intensified revenue generation/collection and judicious expenditure management, and 3)
augment available funds by other financing options such as public borrowing and other
forms of partnership with other national agencies and the private sector.
Chapter XII
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Copies of the annual report shall be submitted to the Municipal Mayor for his
information and appropriate action. The Sangguniang Bayan, the Department of Interior
and Local Government through the Municipal Local Government Operations Officer, and
implementers shall be likewise provided with copies of the report.
