Are local government units completely independent from the national government? While local government units are not entirely separate from the national government, they are granted a significant degree of self-governance. They possess the administrative freedom to implement policies and programs suitable for their respective localities. However, this freedom operates within the overarching parameters set by national laws and state policies. The declaration that these units shall enjoy local autonomy is provided in Article X, Section 2, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 2. The territorial and political subdivisions shall enjoy local autonomy.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
