Tagbilaran City, Bohol β The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Bohol intends to inform the general public that in the pursuit of its mandate, the Department conducts various performance assessments on local governance and confers awards and incentives to performing Local Government Units (LGUs) that have exhibited exemplary performance in these performance audits. The following are the DILG-managed assessments, awards and incentives:
β’ Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG)
β’ Good Financial Housekeeping
β’ Anti-Drug Abuse Council Functionality
β’ Peace and Order Council Functionality
β’ Local Legislative Award (LLA)
β’ Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance
β’ Local Council for the Protection of Children Functionality
β’ Local Council on Anti-Trafficking and Violence Against Women and Children Functionality
β’ Subaybayani Award
β’ Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangays
β’ Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Award
Other than these, this level makes it clear that the Department is not associated with any of the awards proliferating on social media and categorically denies any involvement in such activities.
While this level acknowledges that other government agencies and private organizations and institutions are not prevented from giving due recognition to deserving local government units and elected local officials, the general public and most especially our local officials are strongly advised to be most prudent in giving acknowledgement and credence to award-giving bodies.
As guideposts, one may take foremost consideration to the track record of these institutions, the criteria they use, the methodologies they employ, and the mandates and objectives of the organizations, as well as their members.
We understand that there is an apparent clamor to gatekeep the giving of awards and recognition in local governance. Absent such mechanism as of the moment, however, we urge everyone to exercise due diligence and critical thinking not only in verifying the legitimacy of such awards and recognition but also in joining, accepting and promoting such.
Finally, we inform the public that this matter has been formally referred to higher levels of the Department for policy consideration and appropriate guidance.
