- Hi! Good morning to each and every one.

We are group 5 and 6 and we will tackle Chapter 3 and

4 which is the City and the Barangay.
- First is City. It is a political unit of government and a body corporate. So lahat tayo is familiar dito
since ang Pilipinas ay nahahati into smaller political units. After ng national, susunod yung
province, cities, municipalities, and then barangay. Ano naman yung sinasabi rito na body
corporate? If naaalala niyo yung second yr na topic natin na corporation, ganun din yun dito. Isa
siyang legal entity meaning may legal rights and may responsibilities. Meron siyang corporate
powers.
- It serves to promote socio-economic development and effective management of its competent
barangay. Socio-economic development. From the word social and economic na word. Yung
socio-economic development refers to transformation of a society regarding to social and
economic dimensions. So example is yung employment, paggawa ng daan tapos mga facilities
like hospitals. And then, example dito sa Caloocan. May 188 barangays, so need imanage yun ng
city na effective
- Next, we move on to Government powers. First is Police Power. It refers to power to promote
public welfare by restraining and regulating the use of liberty and property. For example is may
pinasara na casino malapit sa school para sa kapakanan ng mga stuudents, example yun ng
police power. Another example is yung pagbibigay ng discount sa mga senior citizens.
Ineexercise din doon yung police power.
- Next is Eminent domain. Eto yung power to take property for public use, which can be done only
on condition of providing a reasonable compensation therefor. Example yung isang private
property na madadaanan ng road widening project ay pwedeng i-expropriate at kunin ng
pamahalaan for public use. Another example is binili or kinuha yung private property para
pagtayuan ng school o kaya ospital
- Last is yung power of taxation, eto yung kapangayarihan ng gobyerno na mangolekta ng buwis
sa nasasakupan nito para makakuha o makalikom ng pondo para sa necessary expenses ng
gobyerno. Sabi nga lifeblood ng gobyerno yung taxes. Kung wala yun mapaparalyzed kasi walang
panggastos ang gobyerno.
- Let’s move on to corporate powers. Every local government units, may corporate powers. Ayon
nga sa Local Government Code of the Philippines, eto yung corporate powers niya.
- Una is continues succession on its corporate name. Next is to sued and be sued. Have and use a
corporate seal. Acquire and convey real or personal property. Enter into contracts. And to
exercise such other powers as are granted to corporations, subject to the limitations provided in
this Code and other laws.
- So papaano ba nakecreate ang isang city? So nakecreate ito by an act of congress. Kumbaga
naisabatas. Example is sa Caloocan City, Noong 1961, after maapproved yung Republic Act No.
3278 ng Congress and ma-conduct yung plebiscite. Caloocan was officially inducted into
cityhood on February 16, 1962. "Plebiscite" is the electoral process by which an initiative on the
Constitution is approved or rejected by the people.
- (Congress is the lone legislative entity that can incorporate cities. Provincial and municipal
councils can pass resolutions indicating a desire to have a certain area (usually an already-
existing municipality or a cluster of barangays) declared a city after the requirements for
becoming a city are met. As per Republic Act No. 9009, these requirements include: locally
 generated income of at least ₱100 million (based on constant prices in the year 2000) for the
last two consecutive years, as certified by the Department of Finance,
- AND a population of at least 150,000, as certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA); OR
a contiguous territory of 100 square kilometers, as certified by the Land Management Bureau,
with contiguity not being a requisite for areas that are on two or more islands.)
- Highly urbanized. Eto yung Cities with a minimum population of two hundred thousand
(200,000) inhabitants, annual income na fifty million, land area na 100 sq m. So may 33 huc sa
pilipinas, 16 ay galling sa metro manila.
- Independent Component Cities are cities whose charters prohibit their voters from voting for
provincial elective officials. From the word independent, yung mga icc is independent sa
province. Cities include Dagupan City, Ormoc City, Santiago City, Naga City, and Cotabato City.
- Component Cities, eto yung mga Cities which do not meet the preceding requirements.
Kumbaga part sila ng province kung saan sila geographically located.
- May mga requisites kasi para maclassify if huc, icc, or cc. So if makikita niyo sa table, Yung huc
50M yung icome, and at least 200,000 yung population. Yung ICC, 20M yung annual income, and
atleast 150,000 yung population. Yung CC or Component Cities, may 20M annual income and at
least 150,000 na population.
- Let’s move on to basic services and facilities. Una is may kinalaman sa agriculture.
- Next is industrial research and development. Industrial research and development is a term
used to describe research activity conducted within a specific area or discipline. industrial
research and development projects to yield new products or enhance existing ones.
- Next is environmental protection. Example neto is nung may pa-tree planting si mayor 4 yrs ago.
- Health, yung mga hospital na pinapatayo.
- Social welfare. It includes healthcare, empowerment, housing and other programs geared
towards assisting the poor, unemployed and marginalized in society.
- Next is upgraded and modernized information, Solid waste disposal and lastly, investment
support.
- That’s all for my report. Thank you.
