Can different local government units collaborate or pool their resources together? Local government units are expressly and legally permitted to group themselves or effectively consolidate their collective efforts. They may efficiently coordinate their services and pool their public resources to address common regional problems or achieve shared developmental goals. This practical collaboration must always be executed in accordance with the specific provisions set forth by law. The constitutional authority for local governments to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation is found in Article X, Section 13, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 13. Local government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance with law.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
