WHEREAS, local governments have amply demonstrated the technical capability to undertake self-liquidating and/or income producing development projects;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, with the implementation of Presidential Decree No. 752, most local governments have demonstrated the capacity to regularly and promptly meet loan payments to various government lending institutions such that in most cases, the mandatory provisions requiring the guarantee of the National Government for domestic loans have not been found to be necessary;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, to enable the local governments to meet the capital requirements of development projects which may be funded from the proceeds of bonds and other long-term securities, there is also an immediate need to increase the ceiling of one-half of one percent of the total assessed value of taxable properties prescribed under Presidential Decree No. 752 which delimits the aggregate amount of such bonds and securities that the local governments may issue at any one time;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
