“Have the provisions of the LGC of 1991 to

institutionalize citizen participation in governance
been realized?

Let us take a look at the LDC which is one of major avenues

of citizen participation in local governance.
The LGU is mandated by the LGC of 1991 to organize
the LDC that shall perform the following functions:

1. Formulate development plans and policies;

2. Formulate public investment programs;
3. Appraise and prioritize programs and projects;
4. Formulate investment incentives;
5. Coordinate, monitor and evaluate implementation
of development programs and projects.
In 2017, the DILG-BLGS conducted an
assessment of LDC functionality using the ff
rudimentary requirements:

Composition Have CSO reps who constitute not less than ¼ of

the members of the fully organized council.
Meetings Meet at least once every six (6) months.
Plans Formulated Have at least one of any of the ff: CDP, LDIP, AIP
