1. Principles of Local Autonomy
Section 25, Article III - The State shall ensure the autonomy of local governments. Section 2, Article X - The territorial and political subdivisions shall enjoy local autonomy. *The principle of local autonomy under the 1987 Constitution simply means DECENTRALIZATION. *It does not make the local government sovereign within the state or an imperium in iperio. Autonomy is either: 1. Decentralization of administration - No valid constitutional challenge - Delegation of administrative powers to broaden the base of governmental power. 2. Decentralization of power - Abdication by the national government of political power in favor of the local government *Congress retains control over the LGUs although significantly reduced under the Constitution. National legislature is still the principal of LGUs which cannot defy its will or modify or violate it. * Power to tax of LGUs which cannot be withdrawn by mere statute. * Any form of autonomy granted to local governments will necessarily be limited and confined within the extent allowed by the central authority. Exercise of local autonomy remains subject to: 1. power of control by Congress and 2. general supervision by the President
