On September 7, 2026 (Monday), the Provincial Committee convened at the MILG Lanao del Sur Provincial Office to discuss the rationale, guidelines, and mechanics of the validation process. The committee was chaired by ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐

Umpar, Prof. Mahid Rachman, Director of IRLG, Marjorie Ann Sani of PPDO, Johary Ayo of Rawaten Inc. โ CSO, and Shunayfah Ali of the Liga ng mga Barangay (LnB). The MILG team was composed of Maesomah Said, Ryana Pukunum, Summiyyah Dimasangka, and Hafsah D. Umpar.
Following the committeeโs deliberation, an on-site validation was conducted on September 9, 2026 (Wednesday) in Wao, Lanao del Sur, covering the two potential Model Barangays Barangay Cebuano Group and Barangay Christian Village.
Both barangays warmly welcomed the validation team and actively cooperated throughout the process. They complied with the necessary documentary requirements and participated in the interviews and assessment. MLGOO Ann Shelley Padilla likewise provided valuable assistance and support to the team.
After the validation, the team provided feedback and recommendations, identifying areas that could still be strengthened and requirements that needed to be addressed. The discussions served not only as an assessment but also as an opportunity for the barangays to learn, improve, and further strengthen their governance practices.
Anchored on the Local Government Code of 1991 and the Bangsamoro Local Governance Code of 2023, the Search for Model Barangay seeks to recognize barangays that demonstrate exemplary performance in governance, service delivery, and responsiveness to their communities.
More than recognition, this initiative is about celebrating good practices, sharing meaningful experiences, and inspiring other barangays to raise the standard of local governance.
Because good governance is not only meant to be recognized it is meant to be shared, strengthened, and carried forward as an example for others to follow.
