CABARROGUIS, Quirino, October 20 (PIA) -- The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) recently cited the provincial government of Quirino as the regional winner of the first Gawad Pamana ng Lahi Award in Region 2. | |||
Governor Junie E. Cua, together with the other provincial officials personally received the awards which consisted of a trophy and a check of P3 million from Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo and Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) president Gov. Alfonso Umali during the Biyaheng Pinoy, a yearlong celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Local Government Code, held at the Philippine International Convention Center. | |||
Cua thanked the DILG for the awards as he vowed to continuously adhere to the good governance principles of transparency, accountability and exclusivity in local administration and development. | |||
The amount will serve as funding support for the implementation of programs and projects under the Millennium Development Goal. | |||
Vincent dela Rosa, information officer of the DILG 2 said “the Pamana ng Lahi Award is being conferred annually since 2011 to all deserving local governments for their commendable performance in administrative governance, social governance, economic governance and environmental governance.” | |||
The concept came from the previous Region’s Outstanding Local Legislature of the Year (ROLLY) and Region’s Outstanding Municipalities of the Year (ROMY) awards wherein high performing local government units are feted for their substantial contributions in realizing the goal of decentralization. | |||
Criteria for the selection of the winner include the local governance performance management system (LGPMS), 80 points; seal of good housekeeping, 10 points; innovations, 5 points and awards(s) or distinction(s), 5 points. (TCB/PIA 2) | |||
