What core principle governs the administrative relationship of territorial subdivisions? The territorial and political subdivisions of the country are guaranteed to enjoy local autonomy. This means they are empowered to manage their own local affairs without undue interference from the national government. Such a principle ensures that local leaders can respond more effectively and promptly to the specific needs of their constituents. The guarantee of this independent operational capability is enshrined 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
