Isabela reaps SGLG awards for 5th year in a row
The Seal of Good Local Governance is an award, incentive, honor and recognition-based program for all Local Government Units (LGUs) and a continuing commitment for LGUs to continually progress and improve their performance.
In his letter to Governor Rodito T. Albano III, DILG Secretary Año said, “the Provincial Government substantially met the standards of all assessment areas and carried-on the “all-in criteria where a local government unit has to pass minimum requirements of all seven areas: Financial Administration, Disaster Preparedness, Social Protection, Peace and Order, Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness, Environmental Management, and Tourism, Culture and the Arts”.
For the fifth consecutive time, the Provincial Government of Isabela was conferred the SGLG marker, having consistently passed the evaluation with sterling performance in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and the just concluded national validation last August this year.
