With the success of the first year of implementation of Republic Act No. 11292 or the SGLG Act, the Seal carries on with the "All-in" assessment approach, where an LGU must pass all ten (10) governance areas: Financial Administration and Sustainability; Disaster Preparedness; Social Protection and Sensitivity; Health Compliance and Responsiveness; Sustainable Education; Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness; Safety, Peace and Order; Environmental Management; Tourism, Heritage Development, Culture and Arts; and Youth Development.

Angeles City Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. expressed his gratitude towards his concerned city officials and staff for their commitment to ensuring that Angeles City qualifies to receive the said award from the DILG.
