    The Supreme Court ruled that RA 8562, which converted the Medina Lacson de Leon School of Arts and Trades into a polytechnic college that integrated the Bataan Community Colleges, did not infringe on local autonomy. This is because local autonomy delegates administrative powers to subdivisions but the state retains power over public domain properties through Congress. Congress expressly intended to entrust the titles of the lands occupied by the colleges to the new Bataan Polytechnic State College under RA 8562.

    SP of Bataan vs. Cong.

    Garcia,
    G.R. No. 174964,
    Oct. 5, 2016

    FACTS:

    The Bataan Community Colleges and the Medina Lacson de Leon School of Arts and Trades occupied
    various parcels of land registered under the Province of Bataan. When Congress passed RA. 8562,
    authored by Cong. Garcia, it converted the MLLSAT into a polytechnic college which integrated the BCC.
    Garcia then requested the lots to be transferred to the BPSC, however, the SP of Bataan insisted that it
    could not be transferred as the properties were not communal but patrimonial properties of the Province
    of Bataan.

    ISSUE: Whether or not R.A. No. 8562 infringes on the State's underlying policy of local
    autonomy for its territorial and political subdivisions?

    RULING: : No. The Philippine concept of local autonomy only delegates administrative powers to their
    political subdivisions, and does not deal with issues concerning ownership and classification or use of
    properties held by the local governments. The State still retains power over property of the public domain,
    exercised through Congress. Therefore, R.A. No. 8562 does not infringe on the State’s underlying policy
    of local autonomy as there is no dispute that the Congress has expressly intended to entrust to BPSC the
    titles to the subject lots.
