President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered government agencies to study Executive Order No. 138 for possible amendments and to determine what national government functions should be devolved to local government units (LGUs) as a result of the Supreme Court--
national government functions should be devolved to local government units as a result of the Supreme Court’s Mandanas-Garcia ruling.
“The President gave an instruction to further study the responsibilities, projects and programs that can be performed by LGUs and which should be left for the national government,” she added. The Budget chief said when the Marcos administration took over, many LGUs raised concern on their inability and lack of preparation for the adoption of full devolution, particularly on big ticket and high-impact projects.
EO 138 was issued in 2021 to support the efficient implementation of the SC ruling on the Mandanas-Garcia case and strengthen the autonomy and empowerment of LGUs.
