- 12. The Role of the Local Government in Development • The local government is also called the governments of the parts of a nation. Its levels vary according to the political pattern and experience of each and every nation like the Philippines.

- 13. The Role of the Local Government in Development • In unitary states like the Philippines the supervision over local governments is done by the national government. • The UN defines local governments as “political subdivisions of a nation or state” (UN 1962); some authorities refer to them as “parts” of the government of a nation or state.
- 14. The Role of the Local Government in Development • This entails assessment of the resources, leadership potentials and administrative capabilities of the different levels of local government, which would be the basis for determining the powers, functions and services to be devolved to them. • Local government officials, as earlier mentioned, make political decisions. Like earmarking revenues for different projects for the public good. These decisions generally take the form of ordinances.
- 15. The Role of the Local Government in Development On Development • National development is a good achieved through an effective partnership between the central and local governments, each one performing a service as an aspect of a function which it can adequately perform. • The local government code (LGC) devolves to all local units the administration of five basic services : agriculture, health, social welfare, maintenance of public works and highways, and environmental protection. What this means is that the appointment of persons performing these functions in their local areas is now done by the local chief executives. There salaries are also paid from local funds.
- 16. The Role of the Local Government in Development Revenue Generation Local governments are authorized by law to impose certain taxes to support their activities. However, their main source of revenue is the internal revenue tax, which is shared by the national government with them. The Code raises their share of these taxes from 20 percent to 40 percent. It also modifies the sharing schemes by providing for the following: 34 percent to the municipalities, 23 percent to the cities, 23 percent to the provinces, and 20 percent to the barangays.
- 17. The Role of the Local Government in Development Revenue Generation - Internal revenue allotments (IRA) are also divided according to other criteria: 50 percent by population, 25 percent by area, and 25 percent in terms of equal sharing. Local units impose the property realty tax, and much depends on their assessment and collection efficiency. They also tax business. Cities and municipalities impose the amusement tax. Barangay clearance is now needed before permits can be given by the cities and municipalities for businesses.

Decentralization in the past focused on deconcentration (administrative decentralization) •Decentralization during the late eighties up to the present focused on devolution or political decentralization. The government had stepped up its decentralization efforts by emphasizing devolution.
- 36. Issues and Problems in Decentralization • Under the LGC responsibility sharing and authority sharing, local governments were mandated to supplement or assist in the delivery of these functions. • Decentralization changes have been made to pursue development and democratization goals. • Privatization is another area of decentralization. It is a policy reform that disposes idle GOCCs. Its an economic and political benefit to national government.
