After a two-year deferment of the SGLG due to the pandemic situation, the Seal was once again implemented for the FY 2022, with an upgraded set of indicators and assessment areas since it was signed into law in 2019 through R.A. 11292.

The SGLG 2022 covers 10 governance areas, as listed below:

1. Financial Administration and Sustainability,

2. Disaster Preparedness,

3. Social Protection and Sensitivity,

4. Health Compliance and Responsiveness,

5. Sustainable Education,

6. Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness,

7. Safety, Peace and Order,

8. Tourism, Heritage Development, Culture and the Arts,

9. Environmental Management, and

10. Youth Development.

The SGLG, as the Department's flagship program, is the DILG's primary evaluation instrument for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of LGUs in complying with national laws and policies that are key to providing quality service to the public.
