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.

In between the City Museum and Gabaldon Building is the Plaza Complex consisting of Municipal Portal and Rizal Monument built in September 15, 1955, a bandstand and a skating rink constructed in September 28, 1935, with a drinking fountain erected in October 3, 1953.

As a significant and irreplaceable historical and cultural heritage from the country"s American colonial past, this 1912 building stood witness to the educational development of this part of the island.

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.

Escalante City reports near completion of SWM compliance
Escalante City (14 December2009) -- The City of Escalante is moving swiftly to fight the global warming and climate change with the implementation of Solid Waste Management Law.

It is currently strengthening its anti-littering law in support to the waste segregation city ordinance 138 that imposes no-segregation no-collection policy, Environment Management Specialist Stephanie Pamati-an, said.

City officials are also drafting moves for the closure of the existing dump site as the new one is being developed at Hda. Amparo, Brgy. Mabini.

She said out of the 17 hectare lot owned by the city, three hectares will be utilized as dump site.

In the same area, the Escalante government will implement an intensive Vermicomposting project and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) will rise.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is now being worked out for the city to co-manage its garbage residuals with the City of Sagay.
