Message MARIA LOURDES L. AGUSTIN, CESO III Regional Director, DILG - NCR In a way, the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) is an experiment to test local government capacity to originate, implement, monitor and control public investment in infrastructure projects, initially at the scale allowed under the LGSF. It is an experiment because prior to the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1991 and the acceleration of the devolution process powered by the Mandanas-Garcia ruling of the Supreme Court, local governments were seen as primarily engaged in the delivery of basic services, with the bulk of public spending on various programs, projects, and facilities left to national government agencies. Now that the center of gravity in governmental functions and responsibilities have shifted from national to local, there is a perceived need to undertake a massive capacity-building effort to prepare and capacitate local governments to make full and proper use of the fiscal resources that are to be transferred to them. Thus, the Department of the Interior and Local Government, through its regional network, and in conjunction with the regional arms of other national agencies, was tasked to administer the LGSF and do so in a manner that ensures public funds are utilized in an efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable manner at the local level. In the National Capital Region, DILG-NCR worked closely with local planning and engineering units of all 17 NCR LGUs in providing procedural, reporting, and technical guidance in the implementation of LGSF-funded projects, particularly in the critically important matter of Project Monitoring and Evaluation. The DILG-NCR is committed to seeing local governments hone their project implementation skills and develop the administrative capacity to the level required by statute and regulation, in the interest of transparency and accountability.
Message ATTY. ANA LYN BALTAZAR-CORTEZ, CESO V Assistant Regional Director, DILG - NCR It does not take a great leap of faith to appreciate the notion that local projects are best undertaken at the local government level. For who else but local officials - Governors, Mayors, and Barangay Captains - know what the needs are in local communities and what public investments are needed to fill those needs for the benefit of the people they serve? The range and variety of infrastructure and other eligible projects initiated by local governments and funded under the LGSF is proof that local officials know best what local communities need: from parks and playgrounds to drainage canals, to bicycle lanes, to typhoon-proof evacuation centers, to street lighting, and more. In this book, you will find almost 70 infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects, varying in costs, all in the NCR. The Local Government Code of 1991 saw the wisdom of situating public investments and the decision-making that goes into them as close as possible to the people those investments are supposed to benefit. Doing so, the projects, programs, and facilities arising from those investments will almost surely enjoy the broad support of the beneficiaries and thus represent the best use of finite government resources. This is the direction that devolution and local autonomy will take our system of government in the future; the DILG and DILG-NCR are fortunate to be at the nexus of the changing dynamic between national and local governments that we are seeing today.
About the Book This book showcases the projects identified, initiated, and implemented by local governments in the National Capital Region and financed under the Local Government Support Fund, a line item under the General Appropriations Act of 2021. The projects represent a broad range of public investments in infrastructure, public health, emergency response, and a host of social welfare programs designed to address the pressing needs of local communities. The book also highlights how these projects benefitted the citizens in their day- to-day activities and how these projects improved community life in general. The PDMU team has secured permission from parents and guardians for their children to be photographed and featured in this Book. LGSF Programs Assistance to Cities (AC) The LGSF - AC is exclusively used by the identified Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs) located in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao to fund the eligible programs and projects such as bicycle lanes, pedestrian walkways, and public parks. Each beneficiary city is allocated with PHP 17,500,000.00. Financial Assistance to Local Government Units (FALGU) The LGSF - FALGU is utilized to support education, health, and social protection programs and projects of LGUs. Based on the Republic Act No. 11518 or the FY 2021 General Appropriations Act, a total of P13,585,219,000.00 was allocated to be used for financial assistance to LGUs, except for those under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
