Local exec to propose San Mariano Isabela conversion into Cityhood
by ISABELA AKING PROBINSIYA on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 10:32pm
by MG Edale Jr

San Mariano, Isabela (June 28) -- The local chief executive of this inner eastern Isabela town will propose to the next 15th Congress the conversion of the town into a city as necessary requirements for cityhood.
Mayor Edgar Go said over a local radio station in this province that the officialdom of San Mariano, Isabela upon the assumption to office of all elected officials will be submitting a resolution to Congress converting the municipality into a city through 2nd District Congressman-elect Ana Cristina Go.

Congressman Ana Cristina Go is the wife of the re-elected Mayor of this town. Mayor Go said the requirement for land area and income for cityhood of San Marinao town has already satisfied and they are only waiting for the result of the just-conducted census of population and housing as reference for population requirement for cityhood. "The officials of San Mariano believe that soon this town will become the third city in Isabela? Mayor Go said. The then Municipality of Santiago was the first municipality of the province that was converted into a city (independent-component city) followed by the then municipality of Cauayan now Cauayan City.

Mayor Go and local officials of this town are confident that their town will soon be converted as the third city of Isabela. </span>
It is also recalled that the municipality of Ilagan has tried to convert the town into a city before but the people thumbs down the conversion into cityhood during a referendum conducted as a requirement for cityhood under the Local Government Code of 1991. (PIA Isabela)

LCP to endorse 21 towns
LCP Secretariat
2011-03-31

The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) is set to endorse the conversion into cities of 21 municipalities that have already met the requirements for cityhood set by Constitution and the Local Government Code.

But LCP President Oscar Rodriguez, mayor of San Fernando City, Pampanga, said their group would be firm in opposing the conversion into cities of 16 other municipalities recently granted cityhood status by the Supreme Court.

"The LCP has been consistent in its position: it endorses, and will continue to endorse, in Congress all cityhood application of municipalities that meet the requirements set by the Constitution and the Local Government Code," Rodriguez said.

Under Section 10, Article 10 of the Philippine Constitution, "No province, city, municipality, or barangay may be created, divided, merged, abolished, or its boundary substantially altered, except in accordance with the criteria established in the local government code."

Under the Local Government Code, as amended by Republic Act 9009 that took effect on June 30, 2007, a municipality may be converted into a component city only if it meets two of three requirements: "locally generated average annual income of P100 million for the last two consecutive years and contiguous territory of at least 100 square kilometers or a population of not less than 150,000 inhabitants."

Rodriguez noted that data culled by LCP from government agencies show that 21 municipalities from various parts of the country have already qualified for cityhood based on the standards set by law.

These municipalities are Cabuyao and San Pedro in Laguna; Cainta, Taytay, and Binangonan in Rizal; Bacoor, Gen. Trias, Imus, Carmona, and Silang in Cavite; San Pedro, Laguna; Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija; Calaca, Sto. Tomas, Bauan and Nasugbu in Batangas; Mauban in Quezon; Marilao, Sta. Maria and Norzagaray in Bulacan; and Limay in Bataan.

These municipalities, Rodriguez said, have met the most important criterion set by the Local Government Code: locally-generated income of P100 million. Imus, Bacoor and Cabuyao have pending cityhood application in Congress, but the 18 others are still waiting for their congressmen to file cityhood bills on their behalf.

"These 21 municipalities deserve cityhood status, unlike the 16 municipalities that circumvented the requirements set by law," Rodriguez said. He was referring to 16 municipalities granted cityhood by the Supreme despite the towns' failure to meet the P100-million minimum income requirement set by the Local Government Code.

These municipalities are Batac, Ilocos Norte; Tabuk, Kalinga; Tayabas, Quezon; Baybay, Leyte; Catbalogan, Samar; Borongan, Eastern Samar; Guihulngan, Negros Oriental; Bogo, Naga, and Carcar in Cebu; Tandag, Surigao del Sur; Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte; El Salvador, Misamis Oriental; Mati, Davao Oriental; Bayugan, Agusan del Sur; and Lamitan, Basilan.

One of these municipalities, El Salvador, fails to meet all the requirements for cityhood. El Salvador only has P17-million locally-generated income, 87 square kilometers of area and 41,905 inhabitants.

"We have nothing personal against the 16 municipalities. But applicants for cityhood must first meet the qualifications for cityhood, without resorting to legal shortcuts," said LCP Secretary General Hernani Braganza, mayor of Alaminos City, Pangasinan.

Braganza stressed that LCP members are "more than willing" to lose or forego their share in the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), but only to municipalities that would be converted into cities in accordance with the law."We in LCP maintain this position not out of greed or selfishness, but out of respect for the Constitution and the Local Government Code. This is not about money, but about upholding the rule of law," he pointed out.

[Pengue]

hindi ata sila qualified sa population kasi maliit lang population nila. yun nga lang malaki ang land area kaya ok lang. malaki siguro income nila kasi may Pantabangan Dam sila eh.

[Pengue]

Pantabangan meets the locally generated income and contiguous territory. Sa requirements qualified pero the town does not look like a city.

Previously qualified ang Ilagan when the income requirement is only 20 million pesos. As of now Ilagan only meet the contiguous territory but maybe after the release of the 2010 population census it will meet the population requirement. For that Ilagan will now be qualified to be converted as a city irregardless of the locally generated income.

[Pengue]

since obvious naman na malaki ang land area ng Ilagan, kahit hindi na mameet yung population requirement. ang kailangan ata nilang mameet ngayon is the P100M Locally Generated Income requirement.
