 Governance Challenges
• The new set of local leaders brings with them renewed development
directions and priorities which carry issues of adaptability to anticipate
and respond to change, particularly in terms of aligning to the national
government agenda.
• LGUs must continue to fulfill their functions as self-reliant communities
even in the context of a push to federalism.
• There are continuing challenges related to hazards caused by climate
change and disaster, and threats to peace and order and public safety.
• Despite having been provided avenues through the LGC, local
governments have struggled with having meaningful community
participation in local development.
• There is a growing threat to democracy brought by CTGs, whose
presence is reported in 63 provinces and 2700 threatened barangays.
The group, whose goal is to seize political power through violent means,
have around 275,000 mobilizable mass base supporters and growing
support different sectors.
