President Ferdinand &ldquo;Bongbong&rdquo; Marcos Jr. has encouraged local government officials to continue promoting effective governance and strengthen ties with the national government in order to achieve the administration&rsquo;s plans.
He made the remark during the oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected officers of the Provincial Member League of the Philippines (PBMLP) held in Malaca&ntilde;ang Palace on Tuesday, according to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) in a press release.
&ldquo;We need your help in the national government. We have to work together. We have to know what the local conditions are. We have to know what&hellip; Hanggang sa political rivalries kailangan malaman natin. All of these things are important,&rdquo; Marcos said, as quoted by the PCO.
He added that strengthening the local and national government partnership is the only way to maximize the &ldquo;resources, time, and energy&rdquo; that they are investing.
According to the President, his administration is trying to balance supporting local government autonomy and allowing local government units (LGUs) to collaborate with the national government.
&ldquo;Para maging maayos naman ang patakbo natin para in sync ang local government at saka sa national government,&rdquo; he said.
Meanwhile, the PCO said Marcos assured to extend assistance to LGU to develop their resources in observance of the Supreme Court's Mandanas verdict.
