THE LEADERSHIP PROCESS IN THE PHILIPPINE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SETTING: A CASE STUDY OF MARIKINA AND SAN JUAN CITY MAYORS, 2001-2010 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The local government unit (LGU) in the Philippines, whether this may be the barangay, municipality, city, or province, is a fertile setting for the study of the phenomenon of leadership, along with the factors that go into leadership. At the center of this phenomenon is the barangay chair, municipality mayor, city mayor, or provincial governor. As the leader of their respective LGU, these local chief executives (LCEs) take into account or are confronted with various factors as they go about their daily grind at the barangay hall, city hall, municipal hall, or provincial capitol. Obviously, leadership is a complex phenomenon wherein a variety of forces interact with each other.
Four factors have been identified in the literature to play interdependent roles in the leadership phenomenon. The first is the leader himself, especially his qualities or characteristics. The next is the follower and the qualities or characteristics he possesses. Then there is the factor of the situation or context or existing circumstances. The last factor is communication referring to the medium and style in which the communication is delivered by either the leader or the follower.
Given the number of LGUs in the country from the barangay level up to the provincial level, many leadership cases – specific instances of leadership, along with their elements, processes, patterns, relationships, and causes and consequences – just pass by unknowingly, undocumented and undescribed. This is unfortunate because the daily information of how leadership occurs could amount to raw data or grounded data even for mere profiling or
