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.

Landang Gua, Zamboanga City, Philippines
Landang Gua is located on the east side of the island of Sacol. There are 4 Barangays in Sacol Island. The population is predominantly muslim. Livelihood is mostly from fishing and farming.
Whatever the residents of this community need for their livelihood, they get from the island or via boat from Zamboanga City proper. Living in this island is like living in a different country.
There is electricity in Sacol island now but the generator quite often breaks down. Help is desperately needed. Water is not properly distributed and during the dry season the people suffer. Security, healthcare, communication, and education are four of the basic needs that are desperately needed in sacol island and in the 4 barangays within it.
Basically, Landang Gua is a barangay that is pretty much ignored by the administration of Zamboanga City.
We appeal to the barangay leaders of Landang Gua that they should let their voices be heard by the administration. Do not wait for the handouts. Demand for your share for the development of your community. Ask the city mayor and your congressman for your fair share of the improvements that are going on in Zamboanga City, after all you are a part of Zamboanga City.
My grandfather used to say "The squeaky wheel always gets oiled". So people of Landang Gua start shouting. Start demanding. Let your voices be heard.

During the Spanish regime, when they are visiting the island, there are many groups of women who are cooking fish on the seashores. And there was a small fish that the ladies were cooking, and the visitors asked what the name of the fish is, and the ladies replied nicely “Landang-Landang”.
