The Philippine Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) made sweeping changes in devolving key functions to Local Government Units (LGUs) from central government. While significant gains in the devolution of fiscal and social administration were achieved within the decade of decentralization, devolution of environment and natural resources management (ENRM) functions remain ambiguous. The general provisions of the Code remain unclear to many LGUs. The Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DFNR) Department Administrative Order #3O provides the optional creation of Environment and Natural Resource Offices (ENRO) by LGUs. A majority of the LGUs are reluctant to create local ENROs, due to some of their limitations including budgetary requirements, human and technical resources
