Abstract:

Environment and Natural Resources. But this view is without any legal basis because the law requires that “the basic services here in above enumerated shall be funded from the share of local government units in the proceeds of national taxes and other local revenues and funding support from the national government, its instrumentality’s and government owned or controlled corporations which are tasked by law to establish and maintain such services facilities. Any fund or resources available for the use of local government units shall be first allocated for the provision of basic services or facilities enumerated in subsection (b) hereof before applying the same for the other purposes unless otherwise provided in the LGC.” The LGUs in ARMM, as in all LGUs nationwide, are provided with Internal Revenue Allotment primarily to fund devolved functions. However, because of misperception, basic services are not appropriately funded in ARMM LGUs.
