2. Explain RA 7160, particularly Sec. 2a, Sec. 15 in relation to the planning function of Local
Government Units.
- SECTION 2. Declaration of Policy. – (a) It is hereby declared the policy of the State that the
territorial and political subdivisions of the State shall enjoy genuine and meaningful local
autonomy to enable them to attain their fullest development as self-reliant communities and
make them more effective partners in the attainment of national goals. Toward this end, the State
shall provide for a more responsive and accountable local government structure instituted
through a system of decentralization whereby local government units shall be given more
powers, authority, responsibilities, and resources. The process of decentralization shall proceed
from the National Government to the local government units.
- SECTION 15. Political and Corporate Nature of Local Government Units. – Every local
government unit created or recognized under this Code is a body politic and corporate endowed
with powers to be exercised by it in conformity with law. As such, it shall exercise powers as a
political subdivision of the national government and as a corporate entity representing the
inhabitants of its territory.
RA 7160 is also known as The Local Government Code, this act recognizes the Local Government
Unit (LGU) as a territorial and political subdivision of the state and granting additional powers,
authority and responsibilities and resources to LGU so they may take immediate actions for to
concerns in their territory in behalf of the National Government.
3. What are the two mandated plans of LGUs according to RA 7160? Differentiate the two.
- CLUP to manage the entire territory (Sec. CLUP to manage the entire territory (Sec. 20, c)
- CDP to promote the general welfare CDP to promote the general welfare (Sec.106)
A Comprehensive Land Use Plan or CLUP is a document embodying specific proposals for
guiding, regulating growth and development of a city or municipality. It is “comprehensive” because
it considers all sectors significant in the development process within the territorial jurisdiction:
- Demography
- Socio-economic
- Infrastructure and utilities
- Land use and local administration
- Environment
Sec. 20 (c), RA 7160 “The LGU shall… continue to prepare their respective CLUPs enacted
through the zoning ordinances, which shall be the primary and dominant bases for the future of land
resources.” Provided, that the requirements for food production, human settlements, and industrial
expansion shall be taken into consideration in the preparation of such plans.
5. Enumerate the steps in mainstreaming DRR and CCA into the CLUP by HLURB.
Step 1 – Organize
Incorporate the conduct of the CDRA in the work and financial plan
Organize key sectoral representatives who will participate in the CDRA
Incorporate climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction concerns in evaluating
development thrust and spatial strategy options
Ensuring selected development thrust and spatial strategies account for the future climate
change scenario and its possible impacts to the severity and frequency of natural hazards
Ensure identified risk management options to effectively address current and prevent future
risks are translated in the CLUP and ZO;
Inviting representatives from agencies involved in DRR-CCA (i.e. hazard mapping agencies,
Provincial DRRMO, Provincial CCO) during the review and approval process
Step 11 – Implement the CLUP and ZO
Strengthen the support institutional structures, systems and procedures for enforcement and
monitoring
Program and project assessment, prioritization and development
Budgetary support/requirements
Information, Education and Communication Campaign
Interface with other local level plans to implement DRR-CCA agenda
Identification of risk reduction and climate change adaptation monitoring parameters and
procedures
PPAs impact monitoring and evaluation
