Abstract

[This chapter focuses on lessons to be learned from Metro Manila’s decentralization experience in light of the debate to shift to federalism. The main concern is to address the persistent disparity between Metro Manila and other regions. The chapter also explores options for changing the status quo and in relation to this the alternative governance model which can better address Metro Manila’s current development challenges, given its present context and pressing realities. In relation to this, there are two alternative models which the authors interrogated, namely federalism and metropolitanization. The chapter argues that studying the NCR as a template and examining several possible options for progress may lead to a more profound understanding of the conversation surrounding the latest (and aborted) push for federalism in the Philippines.]
