Among the 17 regions nationwide, Region 1 again registered the most number of Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) awardees for 2017 with a total of Sixty Eight (68) Local Government Units (LGUs), significantly surpassing its 45 LGU passers last year. The 68 LGU awardees represent 53% of the total number of LGUs assessed in Region 1, and a 51% increase from the 45 LGU passers in 2016.

The 68 SGLG awardees are composed of 3 Provinces, namely Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan; 8 Cities, namely Batac and Laoag in Ilocos Norte, Candon and Vigan in Ilocos Sur, and Alaminos, Dagupan, San Carlos, and Urdaneta in Pangasinan; and 57 Municipalities, namely Bacarra, Bangui, Banna, Marcos, Nueva Era, Paoay and Vintar in Ilocos Norte; Cabugao, Caoayan, Nagbukel, Quirino, Salcedo, San Ildefonso, San Vicente, Santa, Sta.

The 68 LGUs successfully met the scaled-up assessment criteria using the “4+1” principle. This means that they passed all 4 Core Areas namely, Financial Administration, Social Protection, Disaster Preparedness, and Peace and Order; and at least 1 of the Essential Areas either Business Friendliness and Competitiveness, Environment Protection, or Tourism, Culture and the Arts.

The awardees shall be conferred with a 2017 SGLG marker and a cash incentive, the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) to finance their local development initiatives. Further, a special distinction shall be given to LGUs which consistently passed all assessment areas for 3 periods, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

All the 129 Local Government Units (LGUs) in the region – 4 provinces, 9 cities and 116 municipalities were assessed.

The SGLG symbolizes integrity and good performance through continuing governance reform and sustained local development. It is a progressive assessment system adopted by the DILG to give distinction to remarkable local government performance across the core and essential areas.
