MESSAGE
the scarce resource base which in effect enables the efforts to meet the rhetorics of good governance.
The government budgeting guru, Salvador M. Enriquez, Jr. once stated that, “as a tool for proper
governance, the budget should be based on a vision of development and directed at achieving the most
for the least cost.” Given that, the City Budget Office (CBO) is committed to exercise skillful management
of the City of Antipolo’s budget, efficiently manage revenues and expenditures to ensure fiscal balance
and propel the City towards self-sufficiency which is the real essence of local autonomy.
As the City Government of Antipolo traverses towards the path of an enabling and empowering City
Government rather than simply serving its people, the City Budget Office, as a key member of the City
Governments economic management team plays a pivotal role that could make a difference between the
citys dynamic development and its perennial backwardness. Together with the City Treasurers Office, the
CBO is tasked with achieving and maintaining fiscal balance that will ensure the overall stability not only
of city government finances, but of the economy as a whole.
It monitors with the City Treasurers Office and the City Planning and Development Office, the financial
management and operational performance of all city government offices and programs supported by
public funds, with a view of ensuring their most productive and beneficial use while minimizing inefficiency and waste.
The CBO faces a great challenge and opportunity to come up with catalytic and innovative approaches
that will blaze a trail towards a meaningful and radical change which redounds to the Citys development
and progress. It is a mandate to the CBO to prepare, help execute and monitor performance-based and
mission-driven budget for the City of Antipolo. In every program, and in every agency, we shall be
measuring success not by good intentions or by peso spent, but rather by results achieved.

PRACTICES (Operation)
THE BUDGET PROCESS
Budgeting is the process of systematically relating the expenditures of funds to the accomplishment of
planned activities. It plays a key role in promoting the economic recovery and growth of the city. It also
plays a vital role in the attainment of good fiscal management. And being the office, which is responsible
for local government budgeting; the five phases of budget process was systematically observed and
undertaken, these are: (1) Budget Preparation; (2) Budget Authorization; (3) Budget Review; (4) Budget
Execution; and (5) Budget Accountability.
These phases are all part of a continuing process as shown in the diagram below:
BUDGET PREPARATION
It is the first phase in the local budget process. It involves cost estimation per Programs/Projects/Activities
(PPAs), preparation of budget proposals, executive review of budget proposals, and preparation of the
Budget Message, Local Expenditure Program (LEP), and the Budget Expenditures and Sources of
Financing (BESF); these last three (3) documents comprise the Executive Budget which starts with the
issuance of Budget Call and ends with the submission of the executive budget to the Sanggunian on or before October 16 of each year.

BUDGET AUTHORIZATION
It is the second phase in the local budget process. This legislative function of enacting the ordinance
authorizing the budget is in accordance with the fundamental principle that no money shall be paid out of
the local treasury except in pursuance of an Appropriation Ordinance or law. This phase starts from the
time the Sanggunian receives the executive budget submitted by the LCE and ends with the enactment of
the Appropriation Ordinance and approval thereof by the LCE.
The City Budget Officer has assisted the City Mayor during the presentation of the executive Budget to the
Sangguniang Panlungsod. We have also assisted all the Department Heads and the members of the
Committee on Appropriation of the Sangguniang Panlungsod during the Budget Hearing.
BUDGET REVIEW
It is the third phase in the local budget process. Its primary purpose is to determine whether the
ordinance has complied with the budgetary requirements and general limitations set forth in the Local
Government Code of 1991 as well provisions of other applicable laws and starts from the time the
reviewing authority receives the Appropriation Ordinance for review and ends with the issuance of the review action.
In line with the function of the office, we made the recommendation of the Local Finance Committee in the
review of the annual and supplemental budgets of the sixteen (16) barangays for final action by the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
BUDGET EXECUTION
It is the fourth phase in the local budget process. It involves in the release of allotments and the
certification of available appropriations and cash; the recording of actual obligations and disbursement of
funds for authorized Programs/Projects and Activities to produce goods and services that will benefit the
general public. A critical aspect of this phase is the collection of funds, such that disbursements do not exceed appropriations.

BUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY
This is the last phase of the budget process. It encompasses the recording and reporting of estimated
and actual income and expenditures as well as the monitoring and evaluation of the LGU’s performance
vis-à-vis prescribed standards/policies and planned targets. It is essentially accounting for the
performance of the LGU in terms of income/revenue generation and resource utilization for the implementation of its PPAs for the year.
