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 Culianan, Zamboanga City

Culianan became a Barangay by virtue of P.D. No. 557, declaring all barrios in the Philippines as Barangays.

During the early days of the Spanish rule in the Philippines, the place now known as Culianan was a small nameless barrio. Only few Zamboangueños and some Chinese lived there. It was then a grazing ground for carabaos especially at night.

One morning, a patrol of Spanish soldiers arrived in the area. They stopped at a Chinese store and asked in Spanish "what is the name of this place?" The Chinese thought that the soldiers were asking what the carabaos were doing at night. So he answered "Colniahan", what he intended to say was "Curniahan" which means "fighting with their horns" in Chavacano. The soldiers thought this was the answer to their question and recorded in their notebook "Culianan" instead of curniahan.

When they reached their headquarters in Zamboanga proper, their commanding officer asked them what place they reached, they responded "Culianan". And since that time, the Spanish commander always mentioned Culianan whenever he assigned soldiers to patrol in that place.
