All elected officials have 3-year terms, and can only serve a maximum of three
consecutive terms before being ineligible for reelection.
As a matter of principle, higher legislative entities have the power to create, divide,
merge, abolish, or substantially alter boundaries of any lower-level LGU through a law or
by an ordinance, all subject to approval by a majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite to
be conducted by the Commission on Election (COMELEC) in the local government unit or
units directly affected.
P A 6 Students:
This is all for now.
I urge you to read and never stop reading. Your course is an all reading course. I invite
you to open, browse (surf) and read articles in the internet. There are so many articles
concerning your subject “Local and Regional Governance. You don’t have to limit your
readings to the Philippines setting only. Maybe in one of your assignments (but not now)
you will compare our (Philippines) governance with other countries especially with the
issue on “Federalism”.
So…please…. read, read, and read.
Thanks a lot and God Bless.
