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.

History of Licomo, Zamboanga City
In the early 40’s during the World War II when Philippines was invaded by the Japanese Imperial Army under General Yamashita, the Philippine Army recruited civilian volunteers to help fight the Japanese soldiers as guerillas.
Before these guerillas were issued firearms, they have to undergo one month training. During their training, several Philippine Army instructors were sent to Zamboanga City from Cebu. Visayan dialect was used as a medium of instruction in the training.
The volunteers, mostly Zamboangueños, were not familiar with the dialect. During their exercises, the trainees were not able to correctly execute the command “liku mo”. As a result, the trainees were punished by the instructor upon order of the commanding officer.
At that time there was a mass evacuation of the civilians from Tungawan, Zamboanga del Sur to Zamboanga City. Having no transportation at that time, they traveled by hiking to Zamboanga City for fear of the Japanese occupation of the area.
Upon reaching the place which is now Licomo, one of them asked one of the trainees for the name of the place, he answered “liku mo”. From that time on, the place was called Licomo.
