How to compute the LDC Membership 75% Government & 25% NGO Membership

•There is no such thing as a fractional member of a Council, such as 3.33.

•The membership should always correspond to a whole number.

•So we are confronted with a choice between 3 and 4 members, which is the number required to constitute 1/4 of the fully organized council.

How to compute the LDC Membership 75% Government & 25% NGO

Membership•If we go by 3, then it is less than 1/4 of the 13.33 fully organized council as the 1/4 of the council is mathematically computed as 3.33.

•The logical solution in order to comply with the 1/4 would be to round off 3.33 in such a way that we can come up with a whole number which is compliant with the 1/4 requirement.

•Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the 1/4 requirement should be 4.

BDC Composition•The Congressman’s membership in the BDC is also necessary for him to integrate his own projects or the development funds at his disposal into the plans and programs of the barangay.

•More importantly, this will provide him opportunity to learn local issues that are of national concern which must be addressed by no less than national policies.

Fair cross-section of the local community and society could be obtained

Each member of the BDC shall, as far as practicable, participate in at least one sectoral or functional committee.

Sectoral or Functional Committees It is highly desirable for each Sanggunian member

to select at least 1 sectoral committee to join in and act as the champion or sponsor of that sector’s PPA in the legislative council.

The Sectors/BBI Clusters allow flexibility to limit or expand membership depending on local conditions and on the nature and magnitude of the task a particular cluster will address.

Sectoral or Functional Committees Although the formation of sectoral committees is

optional as indicated by the use of the word “may”,BDCs should not miss the potential value of sectoral committees to provide substantial inputs through continuing engagement in all stages of the planning and development process.

Creating sectoral committees is more effective than the one-shot, on-call consultation as a means by which the BDCs obtain technical inputs.

Sectoral or Functional Committees

Functional Committees:

Are AdHoc multi-sectoral bodies to be created as the need arises.

Unique Role of Sanggunian in Local Planning and Development
