ANNEX B
Guide on the Executive-Legislative Agenda Formulation
The ELA is a term-based unifying plan or document that is developed and mutually
agreed upon by both the executive and legislative departments of a local government
unit (LGU), in consultation with the various stakeholders. It contains the major
development thrusts and priorities of both the executive and the legislative branches
for the three-year term of office. The ELA supports existing LGU planning systems and
adds greater value to the LGU mandated plans (i.e., Provincial Development and
Physical Framework Plan [PDPFP], Comprehensive Land Use Plan [CLUP], and
Comprehensive Development Plan [CDP]) by moving them forward to getting
implemented and monitored.

ANNEX B
Guide on the Executive-Legislative Agenda Formulation
The process in formulating the ELA should initially emanate from the CDP Process,
using the Guidelines on CDP Preparation and the CDP Illustrative Guide. From the
Vision Reality Gap Analysis (based on the CDP Process), the goals, objectives, and
strategies that will address the identified gaps are derived. These shall provide the
basis for ELA formulation.
The ELA can thus be derived following the steps as shown in the matrix below.
