| Description | This chapter provides a historical brief of local autonomy and decentralization in the Philippines. In the Philippines, Republic Act 7160, commonly known as the Local Government Code of 1991, was enacted. The chapter highlights the Local Government Code: its key features and the current state of local governments, the gains and the emergent challenges of the policy design and its implementation. It discusses local governance reforms and capacity building directions toward a more desirable design and implementation of decentralization. The imperative to transfer powers, functions, responsibilities, and accountabilities to local governments through a process of decentralization has been central to the value to encourage citizen participation and deepen the democratization process. The development of local autonomy in the Philippines can been traced as far back as the pre-Hispanic societies when the chieftain of native settlements exercised executive, judicial, and legislative powers assisted by a Council of Elders.
