Venue: Mini Auditorium, Far Eastern University – Manila
Time: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Over the years, we have witnessed the emergence of remarkable changes in local government leaderships, and wider citizens’ engagement and participation in local governance, which, to a certain degree, can be attributed to the implementation of the Local Government Code of 1991.
On the 25th year Anniversary of the LG Code, the DILG, in partnership with the Far Eastern University (FEU) will be holding an inter-university debate on local governance in order to gather students’ insights and recommendations to existing issues in local governance which can be used as reference for proposed amendments in the Code.
This activity will also serve as a venue to gauge the pulse of the youth about the proposal of shifting the country's form of government from presidential to parliamentary as espoused by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
