What is a Master Proper Vision for an LGU? Click to edit title style should be based on the national vision for LGUs that (LGUs) attain their fullest development as self-reliant communities and become more effective partners in the attainment of national goals. (Sec. 2(a), RA 7160)

CITY SCURP 2014

What is a Master Proper Vision for an LGU? Click to edit title style should, accordingly, have two components:

1. a desired role the LGU can play or the best contribution it can make to the development of the nation, the region and the province of which the LGU is an integral part, and 2. a desired state of the LGU as an environment for its inhabitants to live in and where they can make a living.

1. Role in the Wider Region Click to edit Master title style From existing higher-level plans, laws, administrative issuances and related documents, what role or function have outsiders envisioned for this particular LGU to play in the wider region?

CITY SCURP 2014

1. Role in the Wider Region Click to edit Master title style

If no such assigned role for the LGU exists in higher-level plans, the LGU can still decide on this through brainstorming and arriving at a consensus on the following points: a. Identifying the wider region to which the LGU relates or makes a unique or substantial contribution. b. Defining the LGUs role in that region both at present and in the future. In a word, this component of the vision is outward looking.
CITY SCURP 2014

Desired Human Habitat Click to 2. edit Master title style

The other component of the vision is inward looking. It presents a picture of the LGU as a desirable environment for living and for making a living. This component consists of five elements:
a. b. c. d. e. the local population (social) the local economy (economic) the natural environment (environment) the built environment (infrastructure) the local leadership/governance (institutional).
