A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DEVOLUTION TRANSITION PLAN OF THE BARANGAY MAGALLANES
PROVIDING THE BARANGAY GOVERNMENT WITH A ROADMAP TO ENSURE STRATEGIC, SYSTEMATIC
AND COHERENT ACTIONS TOWARDS THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF FUNCTIONS, SERVICES AND
FACILITIES TO BE FULLY DEVOLVED BY NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (NGAs) CONCERNED,
STARTING IN FY 2022.
WHEREAS, Section 25, Article II of the Constitution provides that the State shall ensure the
autonomy of local governments;
WHEREAS, Section 6, Article X of the Constitution provides that local government units (LGUs) shall
have a just share, as determined by law, in the national taxes which shall be automatically
released to them;
WHEREAS, Section 2 (a) of the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160)
provides that the State shall provide for a more responsive and accountable local government
structure instituted through a system of decentralization whereby local government units (LGUs)
shall be given more powers, authority, responsibilities, and resources. The process of
decentralization shall proceed from the national government (NG) to the local government units
LGUs;
WHEREAS, Section 3 (d) of the LGC further provides that “the vesting of duty, responsibility, and
accountability in local government units shall be accompanied with provision for reasonably
adequate resources to discharge their powers and effectively carry out their functions; hence,
they shall have the power to create and broaden their own sources of revenue and the right to
a just share in national taxes and an equitable share in the proceeds of the utilization and
development of the national wealth within their respective areas;”
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court (SC) decision in the consolidated cases of Congressman
Hermilando I. Mandanas, et al. vs. Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa, Jr. et al. and Honorable
Enrique T. Garcia, Jr. vs. Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, et al. clarifies the basis for the
computation of local government shares and ordered the national government to include all
collections of national taxes in the computation of the base amount for the just share of LGUs;
WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 138, s. 2021 orders the full devolution of functions, services, and
facilities by the national government (NG) to local governments (LGUs) no later than the end of
FY 2024. These shall include those devolved responsibilities indicated in Section 17 of RA 7160 and
in other existing laws which subsequently devolved functions of the NG to LGUs. These fully
devolved responsibilities shall be funded from the share of the LGUs in the proceeds of the
national taxes and other local revenues;
WHEREAS, Section 10 of Executive Order No. 138, s. 2021 orders all local governments to prepare
their Devolution Transition Plans (DTPs) in close coordination with the NGAs concerned especially
with regard to devolved functions and services that are critical to them;
WHEREAS, the DBM-DILG Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 2021-1 dated August 11, 2021
requires all LGUs to prepare their DTPs to ensure a dated strategic perspective and systematic
and coherent actions towards their full assumption of devolved functions and services starting in
FY 2022;
NOW THEREFORE, on motion of Hon. Gerry M. Gontinias and duly seconded by Hon. Remedios S.
Apac;
BE IT RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved, to approve the Devolution Transition Plan providing the
Barangay Government with a roadmap to ensure strategic, systematic, and coherent actions
towards the full implementation of functions, services, and facilities to be fully devolve by national
government agencies concerned starting in FY 2022;
RESOLVED further, that copies of this Resolution be furnish to the Municipal Planning and
Development Office (MPDO), the Municipal Local Government Operations Office (MLGOO), and
the members of the Devolution Transition Committee;
RESOLVED furthermore, that the copies of the Devolution Transition Plan (DTP) be sent together
with this resolution.
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
I HEREBY CERTIFY TO THE CORRECTNESS OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.
