The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

Founding Anniversary of the Municipality of Leon B. Postigo

• March 25, 1982 - Founding day

The municipality of Bacungan was formed by virtue of Batas Pambansa No. 204 on March 25, 1982. Later it was renamed to "Leon B. Postigo" by virtue of Republic Act No. 6830 on December 30, 1989, in honor of Leon Bayot Postigo, a Philippine Constabulary corporal. The heirs of corporal Leon Bayot Postigo donated a 10-hectare lot located within the town to the local government for which reason the fathers of the town suggested to rename the town of Bacungan to its current name of Leon B. Postigo.
