Local elections and local unity READ:
Through the system of decentralization, local government units are given more power, authority, responsibilities, and resources to deliver basic services and facilities to citizens under its jurisdiction and exercise certain regulatory powers. Accordingly, this transfer of powers from the national to the local government necessitates the election of local leaders to exercise the devolved powers.
Despite the varying political landscape in the local government units, sitting officials and candidates, both local and national, publicly express their support and endorsement for other public office aspirants. Setting aside the political aspect of endorsements as a means of increasing popularity and credibility, political endorsements should be viewed as a fight for unity.
