Gatchalian proposes LGUs' automatic income classification to improve public services

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Monday said he has filed a bill institutionalizing an automatic income classification of local government units (LGUs) to enhance public services.

“This measure will empower LGUs in terms of governance and improving their services for their constituents,” Gatchalian said in a statement.

The measure would also guide the implementation of salary laws and administrative issuances on allowances that local government officials and personnel may be entitled to, he added. According to Gatchalian, Senate Bill 2067 aims to resolve the conflict in connection with the income classification of LGUs which stemmed from Section 9 of Executive Order No. 249 series of 1987.

It pointed out that the Finance Secretary’s power to revise or modify the schedule of income or income ranges is “merely recommendatory to the proper authority, which is Congress.”
