Roxas, Brgy Chairpersons to discuss proposed changes to Local Government Code
On
June 25, Thursday, Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Mar
Roxas will be the resource speaker at the Quezon City Liga ng mga
Barangay (LnB) General Assembly in Mabalacat, Pampanga, where
participants will discuss and deliberate on possible amendments to the
Local Government Code of 1991.
During the assembly, Roxas will
listen to the insights and inputs of barangay leaders to arrive at sound
and feasible amendments to the 25-year-old law.
Roxas will then submit their proposals to the national assembly of the LnB for further deliberations.
Over
the past few years, many national and local leaders across the
archipelago have already been mulling over possible changes to the code
to fit present concerns and to make local government units (LGUs) more
responsive to their constituents.
As DILG chief, Roxas has
ensured that both the national and local governments are present and
active in addressing concerns raised on the grassroots level, stressing
that people from the communities are this administration’s true
“bosses.”
He has also implemented measures that uphold
transparency and accountability at the local level, including barangays,
through programs such as the Ugnayang Barangay at Simbahan (UBAS), and
the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), which raised the standards of
good governance based on a number of criteria.
According to
Roxas, these are in line with President Aquino’s Daang Matuwid, which
encourages active participation from people in the grassroots
communities towards genuine reform.
The LnB National President,
Atty. Edmund Abesamis, will be present in the event, including a number
of previous and present officials of the Quezon City Government, who
will also share their thoughts with the barangay chairpersons in
attendance.
