A lawmaker who served as mayor has taken up the cudgels for local governments now fretting over the undue burden imposed on them to shoulder all costs of fully devolved services. Know more:
Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez urged Congress to look into the “misalignment” in the NTAs of local government units and the funding requirements for full devolution of specific national public services mandated under the Local Government Code .
Following the allocation of higher national taxes to LGUs, EO 138 was issued mandating the full devolution of specific functions of the Executive branch to LGUs, not later than the end of fiscal year 2024. “I am appealing to President Marcos to nullify EO 138 as Congress and the Executive thresh out the various issues that have cropped up related to the implementation of the full devolution of services. Let us first resolve all issues and then we can talk about full devolution,” Gomez said, partly in Filipino.
