B. CHOOSING THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP<strong>The</strong> following questions are basic to any organization, especially a sanggunian with a publicmandate:• Who will provide leadership to the sanggunian so it can attain its objectives?• How does the sanggnian choose its leaders?• What qualities should these leaders have?<strong>The</strong> leadership of the sanggunian is composed of:1. <strong>The</strong> Presiding Officer - the one who presides over the session or meeting of thesanggunian.2. <strong>The</strong> Presiding Officer Pro-Tempore – the one who presides over the session inthe absence of the presiding officer.3. <strong>The</strong> Floor Leader – the one who manages floor deliberations in large legislativebodies particularly where there is a majority party and a minority party.4. <strong>The</strong> Secretary to the Sanggunian – the one who provides technical andmanagement support to the sanggunnian members. He or she is not an electedofficial, but his/her role is essential to the legislative organization.<strong>The</strong> 1991 <strong>Local</strong> Government Code prescribes the role of the Presiding Officer to the:• <strong>The</strong> Vice Governor for the sangguniang panlalawigan;• <strong>The</strong> Vice Mayor for the sangguniang bayan and sangguniang panlungsod; and• <strong>The</strong> Punong Barangay for the sangguniang barangay.Sanggunian officers are expected to provide leadership and guidance to accomplish thework of the sanggunian, and to enforce order in the sanggunian. Except for the secretary tothe sanggunian, they are chosen from among the elected members of the sanggunian.<strong>The</strong> following tools are useful in choosing legislative leaders:Tool 1 -Tool 2 -Checklist: Powers and Duties of a Presiding OfficerChecklist: Qualities of a Good Presiding Officer54
