An city enacts Ordinance No. 2024-09, imposing an "Urban Mobility Levy" of 0.5% on gross revenues of ride-hailing and micro-mobility services operating within the city, to fund city-run mobility infrastructure. The National Department of Transportation (DOTr) issues Administrative Order DOTr-AO-2025-03 implementing a National Urban Mobility Plan that coordinates funding nationwide and prohibits duplicative local levies. The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) issues Circular No. DILG-Circular-2025-08 directing LGUs to coordinate local transport measures with national policies and to refrain from local measures that undermine national programs. The city refuses to amend Ordinance No. 2024-09, claiming local autonomy. The DILG states it will exercise the President's power of control and supervision to enforce compliance. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing the President's power of control and supervision over LGUs and its relation to local autonomy. (b) Distinguish the controlling rule on whether a national directive or supervision can override a local ordinance. (c) Apply the doctrine to the facts: should Ordinance No. 2024-09 stand or should the DILG directive prevail? What steps or remedies are available to resolve the conflict?

The central doctrine is that local autonomy is guaranteed but subject to the President's power of control and supervision over LGUs; a valid national directive or policy can override a conflicting local ordinance; therefore Ordinance No. 2024-09 should be amended to conform, and the DILG may enforce compliance through supervisory actions. The central doctrine is that LGUs have local autonomy that cannot be preempted by national policy; The DILG cannot override; thus Ordinance No. 2024-09 stands. A national directive can override a local ordinance only if there is express statutory authority; DILG circulars have no binding effect; the remedy is to challenge the directive in court. The President's power of control is limited to budgetary supervision and cannot override the substance of local ordinances; conflicts must be resolved by the sanggunian through ordinary legislative processes.
