From Jeff’s post (contribution from EnP Mohaimen Lagoyo): Per RA 7160 or the Local Government Code, LGUs are vested with two Powers. One is the power over territorial jurisdiction, how to manage it through the formulation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). W hat is the other one which refers to the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)? I. Police Power II. Power of Taxation III. Corporate Power IV. Escheat a. I, II, III b. I, II c. III only d. I, III, IV e. II, III Let me rephrase the question for greater clarity: Per RA 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code, LGUs are vested with two powers. The first one is the power to manage its territorial jurisdiction for and on behalf of the national government as well as share with the national government the responsibility in the management and maintenance of ecological
balance in their respective territorial jurisdiction through the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. What is the other power of the LGU which promotes the general welfare of its inhabitants through the Comprehensive Development Plan? Answer: Applying one of the many test-taking strategies, i.e., comprehensive reading skills, I wont be bothered in case a question such as the above pops-up - ‘What is the other power of the LGU which promotes the general welfare of its inhabitants through the Comprehensive Development Plan?’ Isn’t it noticeable it’s asking for a singular answer only? In this case the answer is obviously c. III only (Corporate Power). Some Readings to support the Answer: (Corporate Power) (From Professor Serote’s RATIONALIZED LOCAL PLANNING SYSTEM OF THE PHILIPPINES) Dual Role of Local Governments The planning function of local governments is embedded in the dual status of local government units (LGU) as a political unit and as a corporate body. As a body politic the LGU is a political subdivision of the national government. It is endowed with powers to manage its territorial jurisdiction for and on behalf of the national government. Being a subdivision of the national State, moreover, local governments are envisioned to become effective partners of the national government in the attainment of national goals. To carry out this mandate, LGUs exercise their inherent powers such as police power, as well as share with the national government the responsibility in the management and maintenance of ecological balance in their respective territorial jurisdiction (RA 7160, Sections 2a, 15, and 3i). As a body corporate the LGU represents its residents, the inhabitants within its territory. It is likewise endowed with powers and resources necessary for its efficient and effective governance and to deliver basic services and facilities to enable its inhabitants to develop fully into self-reliant communities. Being a corporate body, every LGU is mandated to promote the general welfare among the inhabitants within its territorial jurisdiction (RA 7160, Sections 2a, 15, 16 and 17). Upon this dual personality and role of LGUs the local planning system is established. The components of the local planning system include: 1) The organizational structure for planning and its functions; 2) The plan or plans that the planning structure is mandated to produce; 3) The processes that the planning structure will follow to produce the desired plan outputs; and 4) The authority levers or tools with which the LGU implements its plans and programs. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is the long-term guide for the physical development of the local area, the framework for the management and comanagement of the local territory. At the city and municipal levels, the CLUP serves more than a framework plan. It is at this level where the CLUP is enacted into a zoning ordinance (RA 7160, Sec. 20c) hence, it becomes a statutory plan whose provisions are not merely indicative but are legally enforceable. The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) is the plan with which the LGU promotes the general welfare of its inhabitants in its capacity as a corporate body. The responsibility for the CDP is given to the LDC (RA 7160, Sec. 106 and 109). It must cover all the development sectors to be comprehensive. Its time frame may be multi-year but a short-term slice must be taken off which is coterminous with the term of the elective local officials so that it can serve as an input to their executivelegislative agenda (ELA).
The CDP consolidates the programs and projects necessary to carry out the objectives of the different development sectors. Some of these programs and projects are incorporated in the local development investment program (LDIP) and are implemented through the annual investment program (AIP) and the annual budget. Other programs may be picked up by the national government and still others by the private sector for implementation. The CDP, moreover, is the plan that the LGU prepares in its capacity as a corporate body. By their involvement in the CDP process the inhabitants seek to exercise autonomy as self-reliant communities. Therefore there should be no more need for higher authorities to review or approve the CDP. National Agencies with sectoral responsibilities should not impose their requirements on LGUs as though the latter were their subordinates or clients. There should be an end to the prevailing attitude of NGAs which has been developed from decades of dependency relationships wherein LGUs were on the receiving end of national government’s generosity or lack of it. Only by enabling them to become self-reliant will LGUs become effective partners in national development. Part 2. What is the first school of planning ? A. Liverpool University B.

This is an actual question in the just concluded EnP board exam. What is the first law that regulates the practice of Environmental Planning in the Phiĺippines ? a. RA 10587 b. PD 1308 c. RA 7160 d. E.O. 220. From EnP Rltr Jay Fee's question: What is the first law that regulates the practice of Environmental Planning in the Philippines? a. RA 10587 b. PD 1308 c. RA 7160 d. E.O. 220. Spot keywords/key phrases: • first law • regulates the practice of environmental planning (this is crazy because the question as a whole thing comprises the keywords, sorry this happens!) To answer, we can readily eliminate RA 7160 since it’s not particular of the practice of Environmental Planning. It’s the Local Government Code and who doesn’t know about this? We can also eliminate EO 220 - Creating a Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). Hang on, I know what’s running in your minds, I’m quite sure only few of you may remember what’s EO 220, right? So if this looks unfamiliar, skip it meantime and proceed to RA 10587 and PD 1308. And again, who doesn’t know about these two laws which point out particularly to the practice of Environmental Planning? Ok, granting you only know RA 10587 and you were mentally blocked due to nervousness taking the exam so you can’t remembe r PD 1308, fine. But you know very well which law came earlier between this PD and RA, and going back to the keywords ‘first law’, the answer can’t be RA 10587 since this is the current law on regulating the practice of environmental law. As I have always advised, it’s important when taking the EnP board exam to know predecessor legislation of any new law/policy or ‘which law had amended what’ sort of thing. Finalizing the answer between PD 1308 and EO 220, have you ever thought RA 10587 can be preceded by an Executive Order? Well, it should have been preceded by a similar act of Congress and not from a delegated legislation such as the EO and also since an RA can only be repealed by a similar act of Congress as well. Now we have the final answer - b. PD 1308. Best is to remember PD 1308 as the predecessor law of RA 10587. On my side, I think it’s worth taking patience providing you discussions like this so you can apply same line of reasoning especially for tougher questions later in your board exam.

AIR QUALITY INDEX The air quality index, or AQI, measures the concentration level of six pollutants (carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter) within various air quality control regions. Although a separate rating is available for each pollutant, ratings for every pollutant are combined into single rating for overall air quality. These rating include the following: • Good, 0-50: little or no health risk. • Moderate, 51- 100: moderate health risks for those with respiratory problems. • Unhealthy for certain groups, 101 - 150: Harmful for people with respiratory problems but little risk for the most of the population. • Unhealthy, 151- 200: moderate health risks for everyone. • Very unhealthy, 201 - 300: Serious health risks for everyone. • Hazardous, 300 plus: emergency health risks for everyone. Sources of air pollution: Air pollution comes primarily from mobile sources (such as cars, engines, lawn mowers and other mobile equipment) and stationary sources (such as plants, factories, and other immobile equipment). Stationary sources also include biogenic sources. Like trees and gas seeps. The level of air pollution within a metropolitan area is influenced greatly by traffic congestion and stationary sources. Urban planners can reduce air pollution by incorporating the following urban development characteristics, which seek to shorten driving distances and facilitate public use of alternate transportation modes: • Neighborhoods and developments that incorporate different land uses. • Dense neighborhoods, developments, and regions. • Designs that facilitate walking rather than driving. • Public transit systems located near densely populated areas. • Activities that are centered or clustered within metropolitan areas and located near public transit systems. Planners can also reduce air pollution by reserving certain areas for plant and forest planting. Source: AICP Exam SECRETS Study Guide
