The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

History of San Quintin, Abra, Philippines
San Quintin was known to the outside civilization for the first time in 1626 through the mission report of Fr. Juan Pareja who organized several missions in Abra. Talamey, the early name of San Quintin, and the adjacent village Palang were earlier known to have always been in continuous warfare with the villages of Tayong (now Tayum) and Bukaw (now Dolores). This impression changed only when in 1820, French surgeon Paul de le Generiere made a stop-over in Palang on his visit to Abra in 1820, describing the settlement as peaceful and simple.
The first record on the Christianization of Talamey was in 1827 when Fr. Bernardo Lago received pagan-converts. Talamey became a mission station and later became a pueblo in 1868 with the name San Quintin. However, it was a part of Pidigan and it was only in 1884 that it was officially separated.
As a newly separated pueblo, San Quintin was ruled by the Spaniards until the appoinment of Don Hilario Pira in 1887 when San Quintin was fully considered to have its own goverment and six barangays.
San Quintin was created a town during the American Occupation under the Provincial Law or Act of February 6, 1901. At the time, Tinguian communities were turned into towns while the Christian communities were turned into municipalities.
Those who became leaders of the municipality during the Spanish Regime (1808-1899) were: Ayong or Hilario Pira, Guillermo Hernandez, Catalino Llaneza, Jose Senen, Sabino Diaz, Jose Cordoncillo, Juan Fariñas, Agapito Garde and Honorable Ballesta. During the American Occupation the leaders were: Jose Cordoncillo (1900-1903), Petronilo Fariñas (1904-1905), Pastor Aragon (1906-1907), Leopoldo Senen (1908-1909), Isidro Perez (1910-1911), Gallardo Llaneza (1912-1913), Jose Cordoncillo (1914-1916), Juan Senen (1917-1919), Jose Rubio (1920-1922), Hilario Diaz (1923-1925), Ignacio Malana (1926-1928), Martin Senen (1929-1934), Luis Fariñas (1935-1937), Jose Reyes (1938-1940), Hilario Diaz (1945), Jose Senen (1945) and Jose Taccadan (1946). After the liberation, the mayors were: Jose Senen (1947), Nicasio Aznar (1948-1951), Gaspar Aragon (1952-1955), Nicasio Aznar (1956-1963), Melecio Cardenas (1964-1967), Severiano Aznar (1968), Estanislao Martinez (1968-1971), Solomon Senen (1972-1980), Prospero Rubio, Sr. (1980-1981), Aquilino Sumalnap (1981-1986), Prospero Rubio, Sr. (1987), Carmen Diaz (1987-1988) and Maximino Ganoot (1988-1992).

Natural Resources of San Quintin, Abra, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power and thermal energy conversion. We have too many black outs.
