Abstract
Local Government Code of 1991 provides the Local Development Council (LDC) to promote people’s participation in the process of development planning at local governments in the Philippines. However, LDC had been said not to be functioning properly during 1990s and early 2000s to realize people’s participation in policy process although more and more Local Government Units (LGUs) had started to enact it. Therefore, we conducted an elite survey entitled “2011 Local Government Survey in the Philippines” in 2011 and 2012 to see the extent of diffusion and the state of functions of LDC in the Philippines. We found out through the survey that most of LDCs function to discharge their basic mission – formulation of development plans and investment programs. The score of performance of each local government, however, is different from one to another. Therefore, we explore the elements which influence the functions and performance of LDCs. We will see the relations between the mayors’ attributes and the functions of LDCs, and the factors which can improve the performance of LDCs.
