3.) Conduct study on how to generate additional income.
Based on the CY 2014 2016 Revenue Program of the City of Imus, the projected Total
Receipts will be P1,442,913,538 which is also the Total Available Resources for Appropriation
(I-II). That huge amount will come from both Local and External Sources. The Local Sources
composed of the Tax Revenues with a total of P445,500,00 as final recommendations and NonTax Revenues with a total of P197,750,000 as final recommendations. The External Sources
composed of the shares from IRA, GOCCs (PSCO), EVAT, Extraordinary Receipts, Inter-local
the City Treasurers another strategy is by exerting efforts in providing the tax payers an
adequate payment centers. They are providing free biscuits, water, coffee to all tax payers. The
place where the payment is being done has an air condition, chairs and a television for their
comfort and entertainment while theyre waiting for their turn. The payment centers are also
open during Saturday and Sunday because most of the tax payers are working in Manila every
weekday. Thus, the City of Imus clearly know how to serve their people right, because they
know that tax payers are the true life blood of the city.

At the end of the fifteen year period of the MDGs, the UN has created a new set of goals
due to the below average compliance of the MDGs. The new sets of goals are now known to be
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Philippines has not yet implemented the use of
the SDGs as a framework for sustainable development for either the national government or the
local government through any memorandums from 2015 up to the present. But the Department
of Budget and Management (DBM) has already advanced the national budget regarding the
SDGs by the use of the National Budget Memorandum No. 126 which was created in April 4,
2016. Under the third paragraph, last sentence of the memorandum, it states to allocate budget
for the targets set under the SDGs. The adaptation of the SDGs may come up in the following
years to come as in the case of the MDGs which were implemented four years after its creation.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a
universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace
and prosperity. These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals,
while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable
consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected often the
key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another. The
SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices now to improve
life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. They provide clear guidelines and targets for all
countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities and the environmental challenges of
the world at large. The SDGs are an inclusive agenda. They tackle the root causes of poverty and
unite us together to make a positive change for both people and planet. Supporting the 2030
Agenda is a top priority for UNDP, said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark. The SDGs provide
us with a common plan and agenda to tackle some of the pressing challenges facing our world
such as poverty, climate change and conflict. UNDP has the experience and expertise to drive
progress and help support countries on the path to sustainable development.
As of now, without the implementation of the SDGs at hand, there might be a possibility
that the goals under the SDGs be the framework for sustainable development. There is also the
possibility that Local Government Units are using it at present as additional sources to their
efforts to achieve sustainable development.

In line with improving the police force, barangays are also being empowered by training
and educating the Barangay Police since there will be additional outposts established within the
major barangays of the city.

which equips participants to actively contribute to production and labor markets by looking at
available resources and accessible markets. The project is in forms of stores which has a large
tarpaulin showing the name of the store together with the logo of the DSWD . The DSWD in
cooperation with the city of Imus has just opened the Sustainable Livelihood Program Stores last
July 2016 around a number of barangays.
HOUSING. The GK Socialized Housing Project has given a number of people affordable houses
to live in. this was made possible by the Gawad Kalinga and Habitat for Humanity.
E-Learning

n importance for additional learning experience within the city. In support of E-Learning, the
City Government of Imus has given 200 laptops/ netbooks, 180 LCD/DLP Projectors, 180
Widescreen TVs and 200 speakers to 26 Public Elementary schools. Day Care Centers were also
given attention. Out of 77 centers, 8 centers are now fully subsidized by the local government.
EDUCATION. In improving the education system within the city, two major projects were
given priority. One is the construction of 6 school buildings having 58 classrooms each so that
students wouldnt be clustered in such a little room and for a better learning environment. The
other priority was financial aid in form of subsidy for the tuition fee and scholarship programs at
institutions such as Datacom and the De La Salle University Dasmarinas. The scholars reached
a number of 1,893 in aid for their secondary and tertiary education.
4. HEALTH.
To improve the health services of the city government, there shall be a construction of a
government hospital (Ospital ng Imus) which already has a budget allocation of 125 million
pesos which is expected to be done by the end of the year 2016. Other than the hospital, a
Dialysis center is also being constructed separate from the hospital which is also expected to be
done by the end of the year. Other facilities such as Birthing Home Facilites located in Velarde,
Physical Therapy Clinic located in Bayan Luma and the Laboratory and Drug Testing Facility
were given focus by the city government and are now operating. In aid for the needing regarding
health, a Health Service Card is now in the planning stage.
CONCLUSION
The group therefore concludes that the city of Imus is at good hands with its mayor and
other officials on the account that the group has observed and gathered proof of good governance
and its factors such as transparency, accountability, peoples participation, etc. As a 3 rd class city,
it was evident that the city of Imus practices grass roots governance and local accountability
upon observance of the group within a little time span. Grass root governance has been taken at
hand by the mayor from people of all ages. The youth have a voice and so does the seniors. Local
accountability in form of transparency is heavily observed since public documents such as the
annual budget and allocations could be seen in the bulletin board of the city hall and if that is not
clear, the city treasurer or members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod ware willing to entertain
questions regarding the funds of the city. There are no questions asked upon the recognition of
Imus with the Seal of Good Governance last September 2, 2016 since an individual can observe
this upon visiting the city.
Other than good governance, the city is economically stable as it is an independent city.
The city has effective strategies on tax collection having a big percentage of tax collection which
the city heavily depends upon. Having business partners from foreign companies from China and
South Korea has a big impact economically to the city. These foreign companies together with
local companies with big names contribute to the main source of income of the city, contractors
tax. No wonder that the city of Imus is the 2 nd most economically dynamic component city in the
Philippines
RECOMMENDATIONS
MAYORS OFFICE
The researchers recommend the Mayors office of the City of Imus to continue being
warm with their guests, and the office staffs to continue being nice in receiving letters and
granting permission with this kind of field study.
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OFFICE
The researchers recommend that the Human Resource Management Office of the City of
Imus to be warm in welcoming the visitors or guests, they should interact with them in a nice
way. They should look and treat people or their visitors as assets for it is a part of contemporary
human resource management, they should also provide people with true public service. It is also
recommended that the office should properly organize and manage their files so that it wont be
hard for them to locate it, another thing is, the files that must always be available for inspection
or for copy should always be prepared and ready.
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
We the researchers recommend to the Office of Planning and Development to exercise to
provide the latest documents to the public, the faster to provide the document the better. The
office is outstandingly much more approachable and present even the person who is in duty is
just one, they accommodate the people who needed the document when requested for the
research purposes, even without the request for their senior officer, they already shown and
publicly provide the document. They are also open for the document needed, they let the people
have a photocopied document even without the seal of certified true copy. The office does not
lack patience with the people, they are always easy to please and approach whenever the people
needed something. Approaching them twice or even more, they do not have any guilt or thinking
of being annoyed when someone is always asking questions and unnecessary favour. The office
also practice transparency the way the people needed such information and other accessible
documents that a researcher can ask for.
TREASURERS OFFICE
The only recommendation the group may give is the power to be given to the office to be
authorized to provide public documents regarding funds since it was of inconvenience of the
group to move from one office to another when it comes to the public documents of citys budget
and its allocations. All together, the office is very hospitable and the group would like to
recommend that it stay that way.
GENERAL SERVICES OFFICE
The group recommends that there would be a person other than the head to be given
authority on giving public documents in use for research so that research groups would not be
going back from time to time in order to collect a document since the head of the office is not
around the office daily.
EXPERIENCES
The researchers chose the City of Imus to conduct their research for the course subject
Local Government because of its convenience. But when we started to have the research, getting
files and data, and setting for appointments, it didnt go easy for us and we then realized that it
wasnt really convenient. All researches that were conducted went through hardship, and will
take researchers patience and forbearance. Through this research, the researchers somehow saw
a glimpse of how the real world works in government. Some government offices are
accommodating and warm, and some are not. The staffs of the Mayors office are very nice and
accommodating, actually on our first visit in the City Hall they offered us snacks and let stay
inside the office of the Mayor while waiting for him since were scheduled to have an interview
him that day. Even though the interview got postponed that day because of the busy schedule,
and prior commitments of the Mayor, we still commend the entire office and the Mayor. The
interview happened after that day it got postponed, and it went well but with little agitation
because we thought that the interview will be postponed again because the Mayor is expected to
be in an event on time, and also because the first group interviewed him first though we were the
first to have the schedule and was earlier than them. Mayor Emmanuel Maliksi answered all our
questions informatively, the interview felt like we were just having a normal conversation with a
friend because of how comfortable he takes our question and how he answered it in a manner
that the researchers would really understand. Another interview we had was with the City
Treasurer who was interviewed by us on the spot, right after we gave our request letter for
interview he instantly let us interview him. Also to the offices of Planning and Development,
Treasurer, Sangguniang Bayan, Human Resources Management who were the sources of all the
data we have, and for giving us the necessary documents for our research. But of all the offices
we went, the least nice and accommodating was the office of Human Resource Management.
The whole research experience opened our eyes that true public service is the key to the
development of a municipality or city, and the City of Imus have proved it. This research
experience also served as researchers foundation in being prepared for their future anticipated
career, allowed them to see how the real world works.
