RECENTLY | 2026 EXCELL AWARDS – PROVINCIAL SCREENING AND VALIDATION

The 2026 Search for Excellence in Local Governance (EXCELL) Awards is now underway, recognizing Local Government Units (LGUs) that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and sustained commitment to effective and responsive local governance.

As part of the search, the DILG Iloilo Provincial Office conducted a two-day Provincial Screening and Validation on August 18–19, 2026 to thoroughly review, assess, and validate the submitted entries and supporting documents based on the prescribed criteria and guidelines of the 2026 EXCELL Awards.

EXCELL is more than recognition—it is about celebrating innovation, sharing what works, and inspiring LGUs to continuously raise the bar for excellence in local governance.
