English: The DOJ Opinions resulted in the abeyance of the income reclassifications in 2012 and the succeeding cycles. The latest issuance by the DOF Secretary on the reclassification was in 2008. Since then, the unchanged income classifications have not been congruent with the prevailing economic conditions and actual financial standing of these LGUs, according to Gatchalian.
Filipino: Ang mga opinyon na ito ng DOJ ay nagresulta sa pagkaantala ng income reclassification noong 2012 at sa mga sumunod pang cycle. Taong 2008 noong huling naglabas ang DOF Secretary tungkol sa reclassification. Mula noon ay hindi na nagbago ang income classification kaya ngayon ay hindi na ito umaayon sa umiiral na economic condition at aktwal na financial standing ng mga LGU, ayon kay Gatchalian.
