TO COMPUTE FOR THE AVE. ANNUAL INCOME FOR

2009 & 2010, THE 2009 & 2010 INCOME SHOULD BE

DEFLATED BASED ON 1991 CPI

THE DEFLATORS WERE ARRIVED AS FOLLOWS:

1991 CPI(2000 as base year) = 53.60

2009 CPI(2000 as base year) = 160.00

2010 CPI(2000 as base year) = 166.10

2009 DEFLATOR = 160.00/53.60 = 2.985

The state of poverty in divided provinces was much

better than in Cam Sur.

Difficulty of establishing accountability.

Too many people involved

Residents are at a loss on who is doing what

and how redress can be sought when public

service is badly delivered.

The absence of accountability induces under-

performance, abuse of powers, and

inefficiencies, and corruption.28

Negative consequences

of “BIGNESS”- Public Finance Institute of the Philippines, Headed byAIM President and former

Sec. of Finance Hon. Roberto De Ocampo

BIGGER LGUsDON’T NECESSARILY

MEAN BETTER

The Province of Rizal which was broken into smaller

local government units and was not merely fragmented

into 2 or 3 separate and independent LGUs, but 15

LGUs, namely:

1. Las Pińas 6. Malabon 11. Makati

2. Parańaque 7. Navotas 12. Pasay

3. Muntinglupa 8. Pasig 13. Mandaluyong

4. Taguig 9. Marikina 14. Quezon City

5. Pateros 10.Caloocan 15. San Juan

The Province of Rizal did not lose its financial viability

and its socio-economic growth stunted.29

LOGODEF STUDY• The primordial concern of the Local Government Code in

establishing the minimum standards for creating a new

province is to establish a local government system that is

capable of local governance and local development. Said

minimum standards should not be ignored because that

would be anathema to the long-term foundation of robust

central-local government relations for development.

• The provisions of the Local Government Code establishing

criteria or requisites for creation of a new province “CANNOT

BE INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT BIGGER LOCAL

GOVERNMENTS ARE BETTER AND MORE VIABLE

MECHANISM FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE”.

30

Camarines Sur is poorly governed --

compared to its regional peers and

the entire country

• Compared to the 79 provinces in the Philippines, CamarinesSur is ranked 78 in good governance in 2008, down by two ranks compared to 2006 (NSCB, 2011)

• “Compared to its regional peers,Cam Sur is the worst-run province in the entire Bicol region.”(Prof. Ben Diokno, UP School of Economics, former DBM Secretary)

31

Poverty incidence and the number of poor people increase in CamarinesSur at

rates higher than the national averageIn 2009, poverty

incidence in

Cam Sur was

47.0, higher than

the national

average of 26.5

and regional

average of 45.1.

Except for

Masbate, its

other provincial

peers in the

Bicol region had

addressed

poverty much

better.32

33

Cebu, Negros Occidental and Camarines Sur continue to have the biggest share in the total number of poor families

Economic Argumentsby: Prof. Benjamin Diokno, UP School of Economics, former DBM Secretary

The body of evidence is that Camarines Sur is not governed well and it has not addressed the welfare of its constituents. The dissatisfaction with the present state of affairs explains the clamor for an alternative province (Nueva Camarines). This bill will give those who are against the present state of affairs the right to ‘vote with their feet’ [a phrase coined by Charles M. Tiebout in his seminal article “A Pure Theory of Local Expenditures,” Journal of Political Economy 64(October 1956), pp. 416-4240]
