Philippine Legislative Project Approval

Summary

The Sangguniang Bayan in the Philippines has the authority to approve or disapprove projects within the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) Annual Investment Plan (AIP) based on valid reasons. This authority is granted under the Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160), specifically Section 468, which outlines the powers, duties, and functions of the Sangguniang Bayan. In cases where a project, such as rebuilding a man-made structure, does not meet the criteria for funding, the Sangguniang Bayan may choose to exclude it from the approved projects.
