Ping: Bigyan ng Laya ang LGUs na Magpatupad ng Sariling Proyekto Alinsunod sa Mandanas Ruling

Kaakibat ng mas malaking kita sa buwis ang mas mabigat ding responsibilidad.

Ipinaglaban ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Martes ang mas malawak na awtonomiya kasama ang sapat na pananagutan para sa lokal na pamahalaan, na inaasahang tatanggap ng mas malaking bahagi ng buwis simula 2022.

Bilang tagapagsulong ng layunin na mas palakasin ang mga LGU sa pagpapatupad ng kani-kanilang proyekto, ibinahagi ni Lacson na ito ang susi sa decentralization na hindi magbibigay ng puwang para sa mga tiwali na pagsamantalahan ang kaban.
