Description
This book aims to equip law students, practitioners, and scholars with the necessary knowledge to navigate and excel in the field of local government law in the Philippines by providing a comprehensive and detailed examination of these topics.
This book stems from the author’s extensive experience as the City Legal Officer and Acting City Administrator in a highly urbanized city in Metropolitan Manila. His interactions with the local chief executive, Sangguniang Panlungsod, and various department heads have provided deep insights into the complexities of local governance. Through these engagements, the author has gained a profound understanding of local autonomy, viewing local government units as self-reliant communities and effective partners in achieving national objectives.
