INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income
2013 IRA =P3023 BILLION

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

RA 6734 (The Organic Act for the ARMM) created
the ARMM in 1989 The regionrsquos creation wasprovided for in the 1987 Constitution
Four provinces among 13 provinces and 9 citiesin a plebiscite originally opted to be part of ARMM
Maguindanao Lanao del Sur Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
RA 9054 expanded ARMMrsquos area of autonomy
in 2001 Among 11 provinces and 14 cities that were sought for inclusion only Basilan (exceptIsabela City) and Marawi City in Lanao del Sur
voted to join ARMM in a plebiscite
Shariff Kabunsuan a new province carved outof Maguindanao was created in 2006The Supreme Court however voided the
creation of the said province in 2008
Five provinces (Basilan Lanao del Sur SuluMaguindanao and Tawi-Tawi) and two cities(Marawi and Lamitan) presently compose ARMM
In 2008 the Arroyo administration announcedthat it had formulated a framework agreementon ancestral domain with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) The agreementproposed the creation of the BangsamoroJuridical Entity (BJE) which covered ARMM
territories plus disputed portions of Mindanao which used to be occupied by Bangsamoro
ancestors Local officials of some territories inthe proposed BJE questioned the agreementbefore the Supreme Court saying no publicconsultations were held on the matterThe Supreme Court declared the agreement
unconstitutional
In a historic meeting on August 4 2011President Aquino met with MILF chair Al Haj
Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous
political entity that would replace ARMM
PNoy visited the MILF stronghold in Sultan Kuda-rat Maguindanao on February 11 2013 to
launch the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program (asocio-economic peace initiative for MILF com-munities) It was the first time a Philippine
president set foot in an MILF camp duringpeacetime
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was created during the administration of former
president Corazon Aquino More than two decades later Aquinorsquos son President Noynoy Aquinowould call the ARMM ldquoa failed experimentrdquo During the latterrsquos administration the Philippine government
signed a framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to create a new autonomouspolitical entity in Muslim Mindanao called the Bangsamoro which would replace ARMM

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income
2013 IRA =P3023 BILLION

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

ARMM A Backgrounder
RA 6734 (The Organic Act for the ARMM) created
the ARMM in 1989 The regionrsquos creation wasprovided for in the 1987 Constitution
Four provinces among 13 provinces and 9 citiesin a plebiscite originally opted to be part of ARMM
Maguindanao Lanao del Sur Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
RA 9054 expanded ARMMrsquos area of autonomy
in 2001 Among 11 provinces and 14 cities that were sought for inclusion only Basilan (exceptIsabela City) and Marawi City in Lanao del Sur
voted to join ARMM in a plebiscite
Shariff Kabunsuan a new province carved outof Maguindanao was created in 2006The Supreme Court however voided the
creation of the said province in 2008
Five provinces (Basilan Lanao del Sur SuluMaguindanao and Tawi-Tawi) and two cities(Marawi and Lamitan) presently compose ARMM
In 2008 the Arroyo administration announcedthat it had formulated a framework agreementon ancestral domain with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) The agreementproposed the creation of the BangsamoroJuridical Entity (BJE) which covered ARMM
territories plus disputed portions of Mindanao which used to be occupied by Bangsamoro
ancestors Local officials of some territories inthe proposed BJE questioned the agreementbefore the Supreme Court saying no publicconsultations were held on the matterThe Supreme Court declared the agreement
unconstitutional
In a historic meeting on August 4 2011President Aquino met with MILF chair Al Haj
Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous
political entity that would replace ARMM
PNoy visited the MILF stronghold in Sultan Kuda-rat Maguindanao on February 11 2013 to
launch the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program (asocio-economic peace initiative for MILF com-munities) It was the first time a Philippine
president set foot in an MILF camp duringpeacetime
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was created during the administration of former
president Corazon Aquino More than two decades later Aquinorsquos son President Noynoy Aquinowould call the ARMM ldquoa failed experimentrdquo During the latterrsquos administration the Philippine government
signed a framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to create a new autonomouspolitical entity in Muslim Mindanao called the Bangsamoro which would replace ARMM

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income
2013 IRA =P3023 BILLION

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

ARMM A Backgrounder
RA 6734 (The Organic Act for the ARMM) created
the ARMM in 1989 The regionrsquos creation wasprovided for in the 1987 Constitution
Four provinces among 13 provinces and 9 citiesin a plebiscite originally opted to be part of ARMM
Maguindanao Lanao del Sur Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
RA 9054 expanded ARMMrsquos area of autonomy
in 2001 Among 11 provinces and 14 cities that were sought for inclusion only Basilan (exceptIsabela City) and Marawi City in Lanao del Sur
voted to join ARMM in a plebiscite
Shariff Kabunsuan a new province carved outof Maguindanao was created in 2006The Supreme Court however voided the
creation of the said province in 2008
Five provinces (Basilan Lanao del Sur SuluMaguindanao and Tawi-Tawi) and two cities(Marawi and Lamitan) presently compose ARMM
In 2008 the Arroyo administration announcedthat it had formulated a framework agreementon ancestral domain with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) The agreementproposed the creation of the BangsamoroJuridical Entity (BJE) which covered ARMM
territories plus disputed portions of Mindanao which used to be occupied by Bangsamoro
ancestors Local officials of some territories inthe proposed BJE questioned the agreementbefore the Supreme Court saying no publicconsultations were held on the matterThe Supreme Court declared the agreement
unconstitutional
In a historic meeting on August 4 2011President Aquino met with MILF chair Al Haj
Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous
political entity that would replace ARMM
PNoy visited the MILF stronghold in Sultan Kuda-rat Maguindanao on February 11 2013 to
launch the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program (asocio-economic peace initiative for MILF com-munities) It was the first time a Philippine
president set foot in an MILF camp duringpeacetime
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was created during the administration of former
president Corazon Aquino More than two decades later Aquinorsquos son President Noynoy Aquinowould call the ARMM ldquoa failed experimentrdquo During the latterrsquos administration the Philippine government
signed a framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to create a new autonomouspolitical entity in Muslim Mindanao called the Bangsamoro which would replace ARMM

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

unconstitutional
In a historic meeting on August 4 2011President Aquino met with MILF chair Al Haj
Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

FAST FACTS 3 LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS
IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income
2013 IRA =P3023 BILLION

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous

INTERNAL REVENUE ALLOTMENTIRA is the 40 share of LGUs in the National Governments (NG) internal
revenue collection Itrsquos meant to fund the basic services and facilities that theNG devolved to the LGUs Also the Local Government Code states that not
less than 20 of the LGUs IRA should be set aside for development projects
A portion of the IRA is equally distr ibuted among the LGUs However anLGUs population and land area are also taken into account in computing
how much IRA each province city municipality is entitled to (a different
formula is used to compute the IRA share of each barangay althoughpopulation is still one of the factors)
The IRA is automatically distributed to LGUs based on the followingformula 23 for provinces 23 for cities 34 for municipalities and 20
for barangays
When it comes to IRA allotment more (LGUs) isnt necessarily merrier Forinstance as more municipalities are converted into cities the number of
cities sharing the 23 IRA slice for cities also increases In effect each city will get a smaller portion of the 23 IRA slice for cities unlike before whenthere were fewer cities around

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

IRA dependencyWhile the Local Government Code states that LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant this doesnt seem to bethe case on the ground
A review of the 2010 data from the Bureau of LocalGovernment Finance shows that majority of the LGUs inthe country are dependent on external sources particu-
larly the IRA This means that LGUs tend to just rely onautomatic allotments from the national government ratherthan exert more effort in generating their own income
2010 data show that 14 provinces are almost entirelydependent on IRA the automatic appropriation accountsfor more than 90 of these provinces operating income
In contrast most Metro Manila LGUs are far less de-pendent on IRA For instance Makati Cityrsquos IRA in 2010accounted for less than 10 of its total income
2013 IRA =P3023 BILLION

PROVINCES W MORE THAN 90 IRA DEPENDENCY (2010
The problem with a system in which LGU revenue is
heavily dependent on a national allotment is that theaccountability of LGU officials to their constituents forrevenue and expenditure decisions is lessened
observed Anthony Pellegrini and Ma Cecilia Soriano intheir 2002 report to the Department of Finance A Study
to Revisit the LGU Financing Framework and Its Imple-mentation Final Report
Local officials can act as if they are spending otherpeoplersquos money and avoid the hard decisions associated
with raising revenues to cover local expenditures and justifying to the public the link between taxes andservices the authors added
In a February 2013 speech Finance Secretary CesarPurisima urged local treasurers and assessors to step uplocal tax collection efforts Purisima also said that IRA
dependence has led many LGUs to become lax on theirperformance

ARMM A Backgrounder
RA 6734 (The Organic Act for the ARMM) created
the ARMM in 1989 The regionrsquos creation wasprovided for in the 1987 Constitution
Four provinces among 13 provinces and 9 citiesin a plebiscite originally opted to be part of ARMM
Maguindanao Lanao del Sur Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
RA 9054 expanded ARMMrsquos area of autonomy
in 2001 Among 11 provinces and 14 cities that were sought for inclusion only Basilan (exceptIsabela City) and Marawi City in Lanao del Sur
voted to join ARMM in a plebiscite
Shariff Kabunsuan a new province carved outof Maguindanao was created in 2006The Supreme Court however voided the
creation of the said province in 2008
Five provinces (Basilan Lanao del Sur SuluMaguindanao and Tawi-Tawi) and two cities(Marawi and Lamitan) presently compose ARMM
In 2008 the Arroyo administration announcedthat it had formulated a framework agreementon ancestral domain with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) The agreementproposed the creation of the BangsamoroJuridical Entity (BJE) which covered ARMM
territories plus disputed portions of Mindanao which used to be occupied by Bangsamoro
ancestors Local officials of some territories inthe proposed BJE questioned the agreementbefore the Supreme Court saying no publicconsultations were held on the matterThe Supreme Court declared the agreement
unconstitutional
In a historic meeting on August 4 2011President Aquino met with MILF chair Al Haj
Murad in Tokyo The government and the MILFsubsequently signed a framework agreementon October 15 2012 which will lead to the
creation of Bangsamoro a new autonomous
political entity that would replace ARMM
PNoy visited the MILF stronghold in Sultan Kuda-rat Maguindanao on February 11 2013 to
launch the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program (asocio-economic peace initiative for MILF com-munities) It was the first time a Philippine
president set foot in an MILF camp duringpeacetime
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was created during the administration of former
president Corazon Aquino More than two decades later Aquinorsquos son President Noynoy Aquinowould call the ARMM ldquoa failed experimentrdquo During the latterrsquos administration the Philippine government
signed a framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to create a new autonomouspolitical entity in Muslim Mindanao called the Bangsamoro which would replace ARMM
