Decentralizing the Bureaucracy
1. DECENTRALIZATION INVOLVES DECONCENTRATION, DEVOLUTION, AND DEBUREAUCRATIZATION.

Deconcentration
Referred to as administrative decentralization.

Devolution
Is political decentralization which essentially involves the transfer of powers and responsibilities from
national government agencies to local governments as provided for in the Local Government Code.

Debureaucratization
Involves the harnessing of the private sector and non-governmental organizations in the delivery of
services through various modalities including contracting out, private-public partnership, and joint
ventures, among other things.
Decentralizing the Bureaucracy
2.HISTORICAL CONTEXT, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

Local autonomy predates Spanish colonization, with autonomous barangays led by local leaders.

Despite the "Maura Law" in 1893, centralization persisted, marked by limited franchises and church
intervention.

The Malolos Constitution introduced decentralization, but under American occupation, local
governments faced military control. Republic Act No. 2264 in 1959 granted fiscal powers, while Martial
Law in 1972 centralized authority.

The Local Government Code of 1983 aimed at self-reliant communities, but true decentralization
materialized in 1991, transferring basic services responsibility to local units.

3. INNOVATIONS IN DECENTRALIZATION AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE

In the Philippines, diverse local entities, including over 41,995 barangays, demonstrate effective
governance and decentralization.

Collaboration between government and non-government stakeholders is encouraged, enhancing


processes like development planning.

Local government units, empowered by the Local Government Code, evolve into self-reliant
communities, despite challenges from potential national government interference.

Replicating best practices demands innovation, resources, leadership, and transparency from local
leaders.

ADDRESSING CORRUPTION
Corruption hinders growth and public confidence.

To combat corruption, various sectors are working to enhance


government efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability.

In the Philippines, main laws defining and penalizing corruption


include Article XI of the 1987 Constitution, Republic Act 3019,
and the Section on Bribery, including Corruption of Public
Officials.
