The Department of the Interior and Local Government said Friday, Jan. 28, that the local government units can now better implement poverty alleviation and development programs with their bigger tax allotment share.
“LGUs need to utilize their resources well now that they will have bigger tax allotments because of the Mandanas-Garcia ruling. With the nationwide rollout of the CBMS, we will be able to equip LGUs with the proper system and tool to help them assess, plan, and implement development programs for their localities,” said DILG Undersecretary Marlo L. Iringan.
The CBMS, as defined under Republic Act No. 11315, otherwise known as the CBMS Act, is an organized technology-based system of collecting, processing, and validating necessary disaggregated data that may be used for planning, program implementation, and impact monitoring at the local level. Iringan, who attended the virtual forum dubbed as “Gearing Up for Nationwide Adoption: CBMS in Fiscal Year 2022”, said that the synchronized data gathering system in CBMS aims to close data gaps at the subnational level and will help LGUs make data-driven decisions.
CBMS field data collection was piloted in nine cities/municipalities– San Gabriel, La Union; Santa Maria, Isabela; Samal, Bataan; Sipalay City, Negros Occidental; Dauin, Negros Oriental; Baybay City, Leyte; Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur; Baguio City; and Sual, Pangasinan in the last quarter of 2021.
