DILG-9 RD Paisal O. Abotazil

Government (DILG) Zamboanga Peninsula Director Paisal Abutazil on Thursday encouraged local government units (LGUs) in the region to actively support the anniversary celebration of the Local Government Code.

Abutazil made the call as the LGUs in the country are set to celebrate Friday, October 10, the 23rd Anniversary of the crafting of Republic Act 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991.

He underscored that the birth of the Local Government Code of 1991 gives power to LGUs to become autonomous.

“Now it has been given, then they have to celebrate it,” Abutazil said, adding:

“LGUs have various initiatives how they would celebrate it at their level aside from hanging of banners and uploading photos that captured the achievements under the Proud Kami sa…sub portal.”

He said the celebration of the anniversary of the crafting of R.A. 7160 is pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 63 series of 1992.

He said this year’s celebration is anchored on the theme: “Ang LGUng Magaling, May Nararating.”

He said this year’s theme calls for all LGUs to celebrate milestones and achievements arising from performance and excellence.

“Ang LGUng Magaling is in recognition of the LGUs initiative to make a meaningful difference arising from the powers of local autonomy,” he said. (PNA)
