The DILG is pushing for amendments in the 1987 Constitution to help address “society’s ills” including corruption, unemployment, and income inequality in the regions. | CGonzalesINQ

He explained that the DILG is still pushing for federalism but added it needs to find a common ground first with other member-agencies before the task force can submit its recommendations to President Rodrigo Duterte and to Congress.

According to Malaya, the DILG will launch this October a new national advocacy campaign for equality provision amendments under it’s Constitutional Reform program. He said among the CORE amendments that the IATF proposes is to insert in the Charter the Mandanas decision of the Supreme Court where it ruled that the source of internal revenue allotment of local government units should be all national taxes not only those collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

“In addition to ensuring that the larger IRA should be cast in stone in the Constitution, the IATF is also proposing a new formula in the distribution of the IRA to LGUs. This new formula includes the needs of the LGU, level of own-revenue collection, and organizational capacity of the LGU,” said Malaya.

The IATF is also proposing to transform the Regional Development Council, a purely recommendatory body, to become the Regional Development Authority , which will have powers and funds to implement projects in the regional level.“Once the RDA is established, the said body may implement programs and projects in the regional level without the need of approval from Manila,” he explained. /muf
