The local governments of Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Caloocan, Mandaluyong and Navotas have received the 2022 Seal of Good Local Governance awards from the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte said the DILG recognition inspires them to work even harder to provide services to their constituents. The city also won in 2019 before the award was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Under Republic Act 11292, the Seal of Good Local Governance award recognizes all LGUs that strive to better their performance in fulfilling their mandates on financial administration, disaster preparedness, and social protection.
The award also focuses on the LGUs' sensitivity program, health compliance, sustainable education, business friendliness, environmental management, tourism, heritage development and youth development.
