Code of 1991 (LGC), the State shall provide for a more responsive and

accountable local government structure instituted a system of decentralization

whereby local government units (LGUs0 shall be given more powers, authority,

responsibilities, and resources. The process of decentralization shall proceed from

the National Government (NG) to the LGUs.

Section 3 (d) of RA No. 7160 further provides that the vesting of duty, responsibility,

and accountability in LGUs shall be accompanied with provision for reasonably

adequate resources to discharge their powers and effectively carry out their

functions; hence, they have the power to create and broaden their own sources of

revenue and the right to a just share in national taxes and equitable share in the

proceeds of the utilization and development of the national wealth within their

under the guava tree.” Before she reached their home, many had met her asking
