How is the supervisory power over component local units structured among local governments? Provinces exercise supervision over their component cities and municipalities to ensure legal and operational compliance. Similarly, cities and municipalities exercise direct supervision over their component barangays. This tiered structure guarantees that each level of local government acts within the exact scope of its prescribed powers and functions. The hierarchical system of ensuring legal compliance is detailed in Article X, Section 4, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Provinces with respect to component cities and municipalities, and cities and municipalities with respect to component barangays shall ensure that the acts of their component units are within the scope of their prescribed powers and functions.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
