LGUs in Action: Powers & Limits in Extraordinary Times 

Local Government Units (LGUs) today face "new challenges" under the "new normal" brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the quarantine measures prescribed by the National Governments. As front line agencies, they are caught in the middle of their two principals - the State and the people they serve. While they are governed by respective charters and the 1991 Local Government Code, they are now called upon to work within the framework of the Bayanihan to Heal as One and the ensuring orders, policies, decisions and guidelines.
LGUs now ask:
1) Can we or can't we?
2) Is local autonomy today different?
3) What areas of governance are we free to act on?
4) What is the "enhanced supervision"?
5) What are the so-called "defined and undefined" areas under the Bayanihan Act?
6) What happens if we don't follow?
7) Can governors, mayors, punong barangays act without an ordinance?
Atty. Agra will share his views as he covers the following eight (8) topics:
1) Nature of LGUs
2) Local Autonomy under the 1987 Constitution
3) Charter Requirements of Administrative Agencies
4) "Enhanced Supervision" under the Bayanihan Act
5) Power of LGUs
6) Executive and Legislative Powers
7) Defined and Undefined Areas under the Bayanihan Act: Do's and Don'ts
8) Accountabilities and Liabilities Today
This presentation will also highlight selected LGU Executive Orders, Ordinances, Resolutions and Updates relevant to the topic.
