LGU Compliance

Scoring and Case

Filing Procedure
Manila Bay Clean-up, Rehabilitation and
Preservation Program
BACKGROUND

At present, it can be observed that several Local Government Units remain to be non-compliant to
the Supreme Court Mandamus of the Manila Bay Clean-up, Rehabilitation and Preservation Program
(MBCRPP) despite the various assistance provided by the Department of the Interior and Local
Government. As a result, the Bureau of Local Government Supervision, through the MBCRPP-
Program Management Office and the Program Management Teams of the offices of Regions III, IV-A,
and NCR, has agreed to increase the enforcement of the program and to effectively keep track of LGU
performance through the creation of the Compliance Score sheet and Case Filing Procedure. These
materials were created to demand accountability from LGUs.

This Scoring Guide provides the following advantages to the Program:

LGUs may improve their performance by giving them an idea of how their output is assessed;
LGUs can now be more concerned of the quality of their own work;
Regional offices, together with assessors from the inter-agency committee can now provide a better
and informative feedback about each LGUs strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement;
Because the scoring guide provides detailed characteristics of the ideal output, assessment can be
considered as more objective and consistent;
The amount of time spent assessing each LGU can be reduced and regulated.

PROCEDURE

Apart from the actual scoring guide, the objectivity and efficiency of the process requires the
following:

1.) That the scoring be executed by the Regional Inter-Agency Committee of the participating regions
of the said program. This inter-agency committee comprises of the DILG, DENR, DPWH, DA, MMDA,
MWSS and LWUA;
2.)That the quorum will be defined as 50% +1 of the entire committee to be present in every meeting
for a scoring activity to proceed;
3.) That the scoring process per LGU be limited to 1 hour each at maximum;
4.) That the following documents be available to the regional inter-agency members as reference
before and during the scoring of each LGU:
Submitted Manila Bayanihan Forms
Solid Waste Management Plan
Nationwide Monitoring Reports
Ordinances
Local Shelter Plans
Other reports/documents as necessary
5.) That there only be one (1) score given per LGU as agreed upon by the quorum in a scoring
activity;
6.) That the DILG Regional Offices present the consolidation of scores to the National Composite
Team in behalf of the Regional Inter-Agency Committee as part of the level-off meeting prior to
the site visits.

SCOPE

The grading period shall be the last four (4) quarters prior to the quarter of the scoring
activities (e.g. if scoring activities begin in July 2017, the quarters to be considered in the grading
period shall be June 2016 to June 2017).
