| Summary, etc. |
The overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986 saw the beginning of the transition to democracy ("redemocratization") in the Philippines. It marked the restoration of formal structures and processes characterizing democratic governments, including the adoption of a constitution, an open political system, free elections, a free press, law making bodies, etc. It was against this backdrop that a local government code was enacted in 1991 decentralizing the politico-administrative system and further widening the access of people to the political system and providing autonomy to local institutions. The first part discusses the notion of decentralization and local autonomy in relation to democratization. The second part provides a brief historical background of decentralization in the Philippines. The third part discusses the Local Government Code enacted in 1991, including some of the issues and concerns regarding its implementation. Finally, the fourth part discusses some of the "best practices" at the local level that illustrate the operationalization of decentralized governance in the Philippines with the outlook that democratic structures and processes in the country will be further strengthened with strong and autonomous local institutions. - Reproduced |
