LEAGUE OF CITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES vs. COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS
G.R. Number 178056
The contention of the petitioners does not persuade.
As indicated in the Resolution of February 15, 2011, fifty-nine existing cities had failed as of 2006 to post an average annual income of 100 million pesos based on the figures contained in the certification dated December 5, 2008 by the Bureau of Local Government. The large number of existing cities, virtually 50% of them, still unable to comply with the 100 million pesos threshold income five years after R.A. No. 9009 took effect renders it fallacious and probably unwarranted for the petitioners to claim that the 100 million pesos income requirement is not difficult to comply with.
In this regard, the deliberations on Senate Bill No. 2157 may prove enlightening, thus:
Senator Osmeña III. And could the gentleman help clarify why a municipality would want to be converted into a city?
Senator Pimentel. There is only one reason, Mr. President, and it is not hidden. It is the fact that once converted into a city, the municipality will have roughly more than three times the share that it would be receiving over the internal revenue allotment than it would have if it were to remain a municipality. So more or less three times or more.
