The unique role of the Sanggunian in local planning and development is explicitly
provided in its power to prescribe reasonable limits and restraints on the use of
property which is the basis of local land use planning.

Also, and perhaps more importantly, only the sanggunian has the power to
appropriate public funds. No development programs, projects and activities could be
implemented through the local budget without authorization from the sanggunian.

Furthermore, if planning is policy making then the sanggunian being the highest
policy-making body is the ultimate planning body in the LGU. Sanggunian members
should therefore banish their erroneous notion that planning is an executive function
alone. They are equally responsible for, and ought to be as actively involved in planning
as the executive.
