The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Himamaylan passed an amendment to its Internal Rules which significantly expands the role of civil society in their legislative affairs. Authored by Vice Mayor Justin Gatuslao, the amendment requires all Sanggunian Committees to include representatives of people’s organizations in the deliberation, conceptualization, and evaluation of proposed measures.
“The inclusion of Civil Society representatives in our legislative affairs provides a mechanism for direct citizen representation,” Gatuslao said. “This strengthens the legitimacy of decision-making processes and encourages citizens to take ownership of local policies,” he added. In the same amendment, Gatuslao also pushed for the institutionalization of Safe Space in Governance Principles in the local legislature.
