Rule VI Eminent Domain Art. 36 Expropriation Proceedings- if the LGU fails to acquire a private property for public use, purpose or welfare through purchase, LGU may expropriate said property through a resolution of the Sanggunian authorizing its chief executive to initiate expropriation proceedings. Proposed: Art. 36 Expropriation Proceedings- if the LGU fails to acquire a private property for public use, purpose or welfare through purchase and with the disagreement of the owner the LGU may not expropriate the property and proper court must investigate and look for other sites to build the proposed LGU projects; if there were no available sites for building any public facilities etc. the owner of the private property and the LGU must enter into another form of contract talk and discuss for the benefit of both sides. Explanation: Eminent domain or expropriation is the inherent right of the state to condemn private property to public use upon payment of just compensation. I think this power of the state is kind of abusive for me, because in the article stated above once the LGU fails to acquire such property they can take possession of the said property by filing a resolution and authorizing the chief executive to do the expropriation proceedings weather the private person accepts it or not the LGU may take possession of your

property. In that case the power of democracy is being neglected or subsided we all know that our country is exercising democratic freedom but in some cases we are being forbidden. For example the land which they want to expropriate means a lot to you, what if that place may be your ancestral home, your place which you gain daily source of income then LGU will expropriate property? They must also consider the land and the impact it gives to you and to your life. It must be discuss smoothly and wisely.

A registered voter in the province, city, municipality or barangay where he intends to be elected or in the case of a member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Sangguninang Panlungsod, or Sangguniang Bayan the district where he intends to be elected.

C. A resident of the LGU concerned for at least 1 year immediately after preceding the day of the election; D. Able to read and write Filipino or other Philippine language or dialect. (E, F, G, H, I) refer to LGC Book. J. All local officials must have a good background in implementing the rules and regulations of the Local Government Code they must also possessed a voluntary public service for at least 1 year. Explanation: It doesnt necessarily mean that anyone can run as public officials, in my proposed agenda now we can assure that politicians who enter politics must really have a good background in public service. Why vote for someone who you doesnt really know and even not familiar with you. People who enter the wor ld of politics should have a clear view on how to run the society peacefully. It doesnt really mean that you are a son or a daughter of a famous politician in town or in the country you will run also as public official, NO! But nowadays that is really the trend of politicians, just because they carry the name of their very famous family name that marked in the mind of society they think that they can run as well without further understanding and briefing to what really politics is up to. Being a public official is a broad and hard task. Once elected you must be the voice of the people covered by your power it is just like embracing a big job to become a parent not only for children but to all people with different ages.

Rule XVII Local Legislative Bodies and Local Legislation Art. 109. Veto Power of the Local Chief Executive C. The local chief executive may veto an ordinance or resolution only once. The sanggunian may override the veto of the local chief executive concerned by twothirds (2/3) vote of all its members, thereby making the ordinance effective even without the approval of the local chief executive concerned. Proposed: C. The local chief executive may veto an ordinance or resolution only once. The sanggunian may override the veto of the local chief executive concerned by twothirds (2/3) vote of all its members, thereby making the ordinance effective even without the approval of the local chief executive concerned. If this happens that the local chief executive and the sangguniang members came to the point of overriding each others power the recommendation of the concerned people within the vicinity of powers of the local officials concerned may be heard its recommendation. Explanation: I add this proposal because as we all know the power emanates from the people and the ordinances or resolution which is being made is also for the people within their jurisdiction. With this we can truly know what the people wants and just so to provide their needs and the public official concerned can fulfill their job by taking the sides of the people and hearing what we really need for the betterment of our society.
