THE GSC JOINT-VENTURE ORDINANCE
The 1991 Local Government Code and its Implementing Rules and Regulations do not define Joint-Venture and the requirements, conditions and procedures in choosing the private JV partners, hence, the absence of a detailed statute and national framework on LGU JVs and the authority of LGUs to adopt or enact their own LGU JV framework or ordinance was confirmed by the Department of Interior and Local Government or DILG (Legal Opinion No.10, s. 2014, 8 April 2014; Legal Opinion No. 47 s. 2012, 13 July 2012) and the Department of Justice (Opinion No. 18, S. 2012, 3 April 2012). Moreover, as Presidential Executive Order No. 78 (4 July 2012) affirmed that local government units may provide their own JV rules, guidelines and procedures, the LGU General Santos City came up with its own General Santos City Joint-Venture Ordinance in the year 2017.
Rationale
In pursuing JVs, as stated in Section 4 of the JV Ordinance, the City shall be guided by the following reasons and drivers:
a. JVs shall be promoted to provide more, better, affordable and timely services to the community;
b. JVs shall promote the pooling and community of resources, sharing of responsibilities and functions, joint governances and decision-making, mutual innovation, and profit, income, dividends, risk and loss allocation.
c. JVs shall encourage the accelerated implementation of local projects, allow for technology transfer, and improved efficiency and quality of service, provide value-for-money and good economic value, enhance economic and social benefits.
d. Procurement of JV Projects must be competitive and must be undertaken through open competitive bidding or competitive challenge, or in certain cases, limited negotiations. Competition must be legitimate, fair and honest. The selection of the private sector co-venturer must be done in compliance with the requirements of competition, transparency and accountability.
