DILG OPINION NO. 136
Description: This legal opinion from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) addresses a query regarding the Sangguniang Panlalawigan's power to review ordinances passed by its component city. The opinion focuses on the specific case of City Ordinance No. 026-2024, Series of 2024, passed by the City of Cabanatuan, which was disapproved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Nueva Ecija. The DILG, citing relevant legal precedents, concludes that it cannot issue an opinion on the matter as it is justiciable in nature and may ripen into a full-blown litigation. However, the opinion provides a general discussion of the legal principles involved, particularly focusing on Section 56 of the Local Government Code of 1991 (LGC) and the landmark case of Moday vs. CA.
