Legislative Management and Information System
In May 2001, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP − Provincial Council in English) under the leadership of Vice-Governor
Loreto Leo S. Ocampos embarked on the computerization of its legislative function through the acquisition of the “Legislative
Management and Tracking System”. The “Legislative Management and Tracking System” or “Legtrack” as it is commonly called,
is a software program developed as a tool to track, monitor and store communications, requests, proposed resolutions and ordinances,
communications, Sangguniang Bayan Resolutions and ordinances from different municipalities and cities to be acted upon.
The Provincial Government only spent sixty-six thousand pesos (P 66,000.00) for the cost of installation, airfare and
accommodation of two Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) consultants and the training of five SP personnel on its
operation and application. Now, over a million worth of software program was given to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for free.
The SP’s “Legtrack” can be considered as one of the most updated versions of the Tracking System used by different Local
Government Units in the country. It also holds the distinction of being the first “Legtrack” to be synced to a Paperless Legislation
Program.
The actual performance of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and its individual members can also be gauged through statistics on
session attendance; committee meeting attendance; committee reports made, number of resolutions and ordinances authored,
sponsored and passed.
Furthermore, the System upgrade(s) enhances not only the intellectual capability of the Secretariat but also its technical
competence in support to the Sanggunian’s Office vows to be responsive, active and sensitive to the needs of the people. It has
undergone a total of seven upgrades over the years.
