Steps
Enacting:
(a) Every ordinance enacted by the sangguniang bayan shall be
presented to the municipal mayor, as the case may be. If the local chief
executive concerned approves the same, he shall affix his signature on
each and every page thereof; otherwise, he shall veto it and return the
same with his objections to the sanggunian, which may proceed to
reconsider the same. The sanggunian concerned may override the veto
of the local chief executive by two-thirds (2/3) vote of all its members,
thereby making the ordinance or resolution effective for all legal intents
and purposes.
(b) The veto shall be communicated by the local chief executive
concerned to the sanggunian within ten (10) days in the case of a
municipality; otherwise, the ordinance shall be deemed approved as if
he had signed it.
(c) Ordinances enacted by the sangguniang barangay shall, upon
approval by the majority of all its members, be signed by the punong
barangay.
**Veto Power of the Local Chief Executive. -
(a) The local chief executive may veto any ordinance of the sanggunian
panlalawigan, sangguniang panlungsod, or sanggunian bayan on the
ground that it is ultra vires or prejudicial to the public welfare, stating his
reasons therefor in writing.
(b) The local chief executive, except the punong barangay, shall have the
power to veto any particular item or items of an appropriations
ordinance, an ordinance or resolution adopting a local development plan
and public investment program, or an ordinance directing the payment
of money or creating liability. In such a case, the veto shall not affect the
item or items which are not objected to. The vetoed item or items shall
not take effect unless the sanggunian overrides the veto in the manner
herein provided; otherwise, the item or items in the appropriations
ordinance of the previous year corresponding to those vetoed, if any,
shall be deemed reenacted.
(c) The local chief executive may veto an ordinance or resolution only
once. The sanggunian may override the veto of the local chief executive
concerned by two-thirds (2/3) vote of all its members, thereby making
the ordinance effective even without the approval of the local chief
executive concerned.
