Primarily considered here are the following proposed legislation (a) Joint Resolution No. 10 as introduced by Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr. et a., filed with the Senate on 23 April 2008, during the First Regular Session of the Fourteenth Congress and (b) Resolution of Both Houses No. 08 as introduced by Reps. Aurelio D. Gonzales, Jr. and Eugene Michael B. De Vera, field with the House of Representatives on 2 August 2016, during the First Regular Session of the Seventeenth Congress. The determination of the implications is derived through the analysis and interpretation of data gathered, primarily sourced from jurisprudence and statutes, proposed legislation and resource person through which the formulation of reforms on the local government system in the Philippines is being based. The findings of the study suggest that the proposed shift to federal government has no substantial implications on the existing local government system considering that as to administrative autonomy, the proposal fails on its aim to empower the existing local government units as the same remain to be subject of the supervising authority from a higher unit as to fiscal autonomy, although the proposal increases the revenue share of the local regional government's taxing power. These follow that, for a productive reform to the existing local government system, the primary recommendation is to maximize the implementation of the Local Government Code of 1991 considering that the principles of local government embodied therein remains to be the framework that is to be carried over by the proposed form of government and that it has important provisions which have not been utilized to the fullest.
