Local Governance Functionality Appraisal for Barangay
PREFATORY STATEMENT
Section 2 of the Local Government Code of 1991 states that the territorial and
political subdivisions of the State shall enjoy genuine and meaningful local
autonomy to enable them to attain their fullest development as self-reliant
communities and make them more effective partners in the attainment of
national goals. Toward this end, the State shall provide for a more responsive
and accountable local government structure instituted through a system of
decentralization whereby local government units shall be given more powers,
authority, responsibilities and resources. The process of decentralization shall
proceed from the national government to local government unit.
The Local Government Code of 1991, stipulates in Section 17 that:
The government units shall endeavor to be self-reliant and shall continue

exercising the powers and discharging the duties and functions currently
vested upon them. They shall also discharge the functions and responsibilities
of national agencies and offices devolved to them pursuant to this Code. Local
government units shall likewise exercise such other powers and discharge
such other functions and responsibilities as are necessary, appropriate, or
incidental to efficient and effective provision of the basic services and facilities
enumerated herein.

1. For Barangays:
i. Agricultural support services which include planting materials distribution system and
