As a POLITICAL UNIT of the National Government: LGUs are in charge of the management of its entire geographical territory for and in behalf of the national government Why “rationalize” Need to implement the full implications of the Local Government Code of 1991 pertaining to planning Why “planning system”? The answer is based on the DUAL FUNCTIONS of the LGU:
