Quezon City - Partnership in Local Governance
PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 2008-111
AN ORDINANCE STRENGTHENING AND INSTITUTIONALIZING THE SYSTEM OF PARTNERSHIP IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE BETWEEN THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF QUEZON CITY.
Introducer: Councilor. JORGE B. BANAL, JR.
WHEREAS, PARTICIPATION is based on the premise that the right and responsibility to govern are equally shared by those who govern and who are governed. Both the representative of the state and civil society share in common the initiative to better governance. The government and the governed take collective responsibility for the welfare of the society. Thus the need to create an effective venue for the governed to participate in meaningful governance. Good governance is easily achieved if its responsibilities are shared by the people. A system of partnership between the governor and the governed gives impetus to the time-honored principle that, indeed, sovereignty resides in the people.
