after the legislative bills for the creation of the said municipalities
had failed to pass Congress, is the best proof that their issuance
entails the exercise of purely legislative functions.
Same Same Same Power of control over local governments.
The power of control under Section 10 (a) of Article X of the
Constitution implies the right of the President to interfere in the
exercise of such discretion as may be vested by law in the officers
of the executive departments, bureaus or offices of the national
government, as well as to act in lieu of such officers. This power is
denied by the Constitution to the Executive, insofar as local
governments are concerned. With respect to the latter, the
fundamental law permits him to wield no more authority than
that of checking whether said local governments or the officers
thereof perform their duties as provided by statutory enactments.
Hence, the President cannot interfere with local governments, so
long as the same or its officers act within the scope of their
authority. He may not, for instance, suspend an elective official of
a regular municipality or take any disciplinary action against
him, 'except on appeal from a decision of the corresponding
provincial board. If, on the other hand, the President could create
a municipality, he could, in effect, remove any of' its officials, by
creating a new municipality and including therein the barrio in
which the official concerned resides, for his office would thereby
become vacant (Section 2179, Revised Administrative Code).
Thus, by merely brandishing the power to create a new
municipality, without actually creating it, he could compel local
officials to submit to his dictation thereby, in effect, exercising
over them the power of control denied to him by the Constitution.
Same Same Same Same Section 68, Revised Administrative
Code repealed by the Constitution.The power of control of the
President over executive departments, bureaus or offices under
Section 10(a) of Article X of the Constitution implies no more than
the authority to assume directly the functions thereof or to
interfere in the exercise of discretion by its officials. Manifestly,
such control does not include the authority either to abolish an
executive department or bureau, or to create a new one. As a
consequence, the alleged power of the President to create
municipal corporations would necessarily connote the 'exercise by
him of an authority even greater than that of control which he has
