    Post-decentralization fiscal behavior of metropolitan Manila local governments: has there been a change?
    (2003-04-03) Danao, Merrianne V.; Daway, Sarah Lynne S.; Diokno, Benjamin
    Has there been a change in the fiscal behavior of the 17 Metro Manila local governments after decentralization? This paper intends to answer this main question using panel data analyses. We look at the fiscal behavior of local governments with respect to local revenue mobilization, expenditure allocation, and fiscal balance maintenance, before and after decentralization. The overall results that emerge suggest consequential changes in the fiscal behavior of Metro Manila local governments. On the local revenue-raising behavior, different clusters of local governments (original cities, newly-converted cities, and municipalities) have responded differently to higher intergovernmental grant (Internal Revenue Allotment). On the expenditure side, there has been a significant shift in expenditure priority from economic services to social services. And on the overall fiscal balance, a majority of the local governments increased their average fiscal surpluses (in absolute terms and as percent of total expenditures), though some have become less fiscally responsible.

    Urban sprawl in metropolitan Manila
    (2004-10) Loquellano, Ma. Joy-Anne B.; Manangu, Agnes Ruth V.; Alonzo, Ruperto
    There seems to be a general, unplanned aspect to 'the current trends in city growth which stretches outward in a seemingly uncontrollable manner, as exemplified by the proliferation of low-density housing, the lack of strong sub-centers, and the rise of "strip development" even as road networks remain inadequate. These phenomena all contribute to what is known as urban sprawl. This study endeavors to construct an index for sprawl for Metropolitan Manila by assembling many variables reduced through principal components analysis for its seventeen cities and municipalities. Rankings were formulated in terms of these derived sprawl factors and the overall sprawl index, which were then regressed with several transportation outcomes representing measures of quality of life. Regressions with the overall index reveal that the percentage of households who own cars and the share of commuters who take public transportation decrease as the incidence of sprawl increases. Individual regressions with the sprawl factors meanwhile point to density and land use mix as dimensions of sprawl which exhibit significant relationships with car ownership and walking, and public transportation respectively.
