MUNICIPAL RESOLUTION NO. 030-2013

RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THE MUNICIPAL MAYOR AND THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT

Proponents/Sponsors:

WHEREAS,

Section 287 of the Local Government Code of 1991, mandates all local government units to
appropriate in its annual budget no less than twenty percent (20%) of its internal revenue
allotment for development projects;

WHEREAS,

in CY 2014 the 20% development fund of Guinobatan, Albay will reach about Php 25 Million
and with a better outlook of increasing in the succeeding years;

WHEREAS,

under Article 419, paragraph (c) of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the Local
Government Code of 1991, provincial, city and municipal governments are mandated to
provide aid to barangays;

WHEREAS,

with these guideposts, the Municipal Government of Guinobatan, through the Municipal
Development Council, provides an annual allocation of a considerable amount in the 20%
Development of the municipality commonly known as the municipal aid to priority
development projects of all the 44 barangays of the municipality;

WHEREAS,

this year, the Municipal Government of Guinobatan and the Municipal Development Council
earmarked an amount of Php 100,000.00 for every barangay to substantially augment its
funding for the much needed projects of the 44 composite barangays to propel development
or growth in the countryside;

WHEREAS,

this act of the Municipal Government is in recognition of the need of barangays to be fully
supported financially and to have an equitable share in the proceeds from its development
funds which are likewise in accord with the LGUs goals, plans and programs, foremost of
which is to equitably allocation its resources to attain a fair and balanced development
throughout the municipality and not only on its urban commercial district;

WHEREAS,

increasing the share of the barangays from the development fund of the municipality from
the present Php100,000.00 to Php 150,000.00 in the Year 2014 and beyond, is very much
manageable on part of the municipality as it is only about Php6.6 Million compared to the
Php 18 Million more remaining for the LGU to dispose/allocate for its own priority
development projects;

WHEREAS,

by honoring this request, the Honorable Mayor and the MDC crystalize further the
cooperative undertakings among LGUs as mandated under Section 33 of the RA 7160,
where local government units may consolidate, or coordinate their efforts, services and
resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them and finally, it will bolster our States
declared policy unto its territorial and political subdivision like the barangays to enjoy
genuine and meaningful local autonomy to enable them to attain their fullest development as
self-reliant communities and make them effective partners in the attainment of municipal and
national goals.

WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing premises, be it:

RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved by the Sangguniang Bayan of Guinobatan, Albay in session
assembled, to request as it is respectfully requesting the Municipal Mayor and the Municipal
Development Council to consider in the 2014 Annual and Economic Development Budget
and every year thereafter, to increase the municipal aid to barangays from Php100,000.00
to Php150,000.00.
RESOLVED

FURTHER, that should this request be favorably granted, it is further requested that these
funds be downloaded to the barangays in accordance with Municipal Resolution No. 042013, but only if the concerned barangay apply or opted for the said transfer.

RESOLVED

LASTLY, that a copy of this resolution be furnished the Hon. Mayor and Members of the
MDC through the MPDC, for their information and appropriate action.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY on motion of Hon. Councilor Ricky S. Matza and duly seconded by the
members present this 16th day of September, 2013 during their 12th Regular Session.
We hereby certify to the correctness of the foregoing resolution and as the final copy of Draft
