Of the seven priority bills that the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) is required to pass, the Bangsamoro Local Government Code (BLGC) is directed to provide the form to the local government units (LGUs) of the region. The BLGC articulates the organizational structure of local units, with their powers, functions, and responsibilities. The primary aim of the measure is to institute a “responsive” and “accountable” local government. This goal is perceived to be achieved in a similar spirit with the national government’s Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, which calls for a decentralized government structure, wherein local units are vested with more “powers, authority, responsibilities, and resources.”
