Explanatory Note
The main goal for producing legislation is to give legal effect to a government policy decision for deliberate change to address a social, economic or political need. If the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Dagupan is to achieve effective legislative intervention, this require legislation to be of a quality that is appropriate for effecting the policy outcome for which it was formulated and implemented.
It is important for our beloved city which is seeking to effect changes that will assist with overcoming Dagupan’s developmental challenges and in reducing poverty. The changes should also facilitate overcoming and alleviating powerlessness, and the enhancement of living conditions and quality of life. Good governance programs often rely on some level of legislative intervention for effecting foundational policy and legal reforms, which are prerequisite for building a framework for change. Legislative intervention also facilitates the successful implementation of the Dagupan’s activities and deliverables, in keeping with developmental objectives for social welfare and economic growth.
The undersigned therefore proposes that in order to achieve quality and getting better legislation by improving efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency, we must act strongly by strengthening the Sanggunian’s legislative and research program
