LESSON : Local Government Unit

Learning Competencies: Explain the roles and functions of Local Government Unit (LGU)

EMPOWER YOURSELF:
Officially local government in the Philippines, often called local government
units or LGUs, are divided into three levels – provinces and independent cities; component
cities and municipalities; and barangays. In one area, above provinces and independent cities, is
an autonomous region, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Below barangays in some
cities and municipalities are sitios and puroks. All of these, with the exception of sitios and
puroks, elect their own executives and legislatures. Sitios and puroks are often led by elected
barangay councilors.
Provinces and independent cities are organized into national government regions but those are
administrative regions and not separately governed areas with their own elected governments.
According to the Constitution of the Philippines, the local governments "shall enjoy local
autonomy", and in which the Philippine president exercises "general
supervision". Congress enacted the Local Government Code of the Philippines in 1991 to
"provide for a more responsive and accountable local government structure instituted through a
system of decentralization with effective mechanisms of recall, initiative, and referendum,
allocate among the different local government units their powers, responsibilities, and resources,
and provide for the qualifications, election, appointment and removal, term, salaries, powers and
functions and duties of local officials, and all other matters relating to the organization and
operation of local units."
