Tarlac City, Tarlac – The annual search for the country's best performing local government units has landed once more in Tarlac as eight (8) LGUs in the province compete for the coveted Seal of Good Local Governance for 2018.
This year's SGLG features three (3) phases of assessment starting off with the table validation of documentary requirements from the lone city and 17 municipalities, followed by the on-site national assessment of the shortlisted LGUs, and the awarding ceremony slated in the latter part of the year.
Among the LGUs that were visited are the Municipalities of Capas, Santa Ignacia, Moncada, Gerona, Paniqui, Pura, Victoria, and the Provincial Government of Tarlac from August 20 to 24, 2018.
DILG Tarlac Provincial Director Belina Herman said the series of assessments do not necessarily aim to find fault in how LGUs are run but is a way of improving the services they deliver as mandated by the Local Government Code and other issuances.
In compliance to the Local Government Code of 1991 and Executive Order 336 which provided the composition, roles and responsibilities of the Local Peace and Order Councils (LPOC), Atty. Ofelio A.
