sectors
● Development is both a product and a process. As
the product or outcome of a process, development
is a seamless, integrated, holistic reality.
● A composite concept, development is hard to
comprehend or appreciate, much less measure, in
its entirety. But when taken in small bits and pieces,
as it were, development can be perceived if not
actually measured in terms of its various
manifestations.
Development as a process and as product
The sectors
and their
concerns
The social development sector

● Social characteristic
● Quality of life
● Access to social services
● Social justice
SECTION 16. General Welfare. – Every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly
granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental
for its efficient and effective governance, and those which are essential to the promotion of the general
welfare. Within their respective territorial jurisdictions, local government units shall ensure and
support, among other things, the preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and safety,
enhance the right of the people to a balanced ecology, encourage and support the development of
appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, improve public morals, enhance
economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment among their residents, maintain
peace and order, and preserve the comfort and convenience of their inhabitants.
The general welfare goals of the government

● Encouraging and supporting the development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific
and technological capabilities
● Improving public morals
● Enhancing economic prosperity and social justice

● Preserving the comfort and convenience of their inhabitants
Economic sector

Environment sector
● The main concern of the environment sector therefore is to ensure that the proper measures to
safeguard and conserve land, minerals, marine, forest and other resources are enacted by the
Sanggunian and enforced by the LCE.
● Traditionally, the responsibility for the environment and natural resources had been exercised entirely
by the national government. Consistent with the devolution policy, however, LGUs now are allowed to
share the responsibility with the national government under the concept of co-management.
Land use/ infrastructure sector
Concerned primarily with providing adequate physical base for social and economic
development. The relevant General Welfare Goals include, but are not limited to:

● Enhancement of economic prosperity

● Promotion of health and safety
● Preservation of comfort and convenience among the residents
institutional sector

● The Institutional Sector coordinates, integrates and supports the other sectors through various
mechanisms and arrangements.
● The principal concern of the sector is to see that the local government officialdom and bureaucracy are
properly tooled up and primed up to manage local growth and change.
