Readings:
1. Principles of Local Autonomy
Section 25, Article III - The State shall ensure the autonomy of local governments. Section 2, Article X - The territorial and political subdivisions shall enjoy local autonomy. *The principle of local autonomy under the 1987 Constitution simply means DECENTRALIZATION. *It does not make the local government sovereign within the state or an imperium in iperio. Autonomy is either: 1. Decentralization of administration - No valid constitutional challenge - Delegation of administrative powers to broaden the base of governmental power. 2. Decentralization of power - Abdication by the national government of political power in favor of the local government *Congress retains control over the LGUs although significantly reduced under the Constitution. National legislature is still the principal of LGUs which cannot defy its will or modify or violate it. * Power to tax of LGUs which cannot be withdrawn by mere statute. * Any form of autonomy granted to local governments will necessarily be limited and confined within the extent allowed by the central authority. Exercise of local autonomy remains subject to: 1. power of control by Congress and 2. general supervision by the President

2. Power of the president over LGUs


Section 4, Article X - The President of the Philippines shall exercise general supervision over local governments. Provinces with respect to component cities and municipalities, and cities and municipalities with respect to component barangays, shall ensure that the acts of their component units are within the scope of their prescribed powers and functions. Scope of Presidents supervisory powers: * President can only interfere in the affairs and activities of a local government unit if he finds that the latter had acted contrary to law; * Cannot interfere in local affairs as long as the concerned local government unit acts within the parameters of the law and the Constitution; * Otherwise, violates the principle of local autonomy and the doctrine of separation of powers. * Liga ng mga Barangay is not subject to the control by the Chief Executive or his alter ego.
