President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has urged local officials to strengthen partnerships between the national and local governments to boost the administration’s development agenda.
According to the Presidential Communications Office on Tuesday, Marcos said the national government and the LGUs should help develop various programs to uplift the lives of Filipinos.
“We need your help in the national government. We have to work together. We have to know what the local conditions are. We have to know what... Hanggang sa political rivalries kailangan malaman natin ," All of these things are important,” Marcos said during the oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected officers of the Provincial Board Members League of the Philippines in Malacañang.
“So, let’s continue this. Let’s strengthen this partnership that we have, the locals, local and national government because that's the only way that we can maximize the resources and the time and the energy that we are spending for,” he added. Marcis said his administration was trying to balance the preservation of the local economy and at the same time enabling LGUs to work with the national government.
He also vowed to assist local municipalities to improve their capability as the national government devolves its function to the LGUs as a result of the Mandanas ruling of the Supreme Court.
