The DILG official presented the award, which is a seal made of fiber glass that weighs four kilograms, during the opening program on Monday of Koronadal City’s 2nd Negosyo Festival at the Gaisano Grand Mall.
The festivity, which runs until Oct. 8, is among the highlights of the city’s 12th charter anniversary celebration.
Leysa said that aside from the seal, which bears a citation signed by the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo, the local government also received a financial grant of P28 million as part of the award.
She said the P25 million came from the DILG’s Local Government Support Fund while the P3 million was from the Performance Challenge Fund.
For this year, the official said the city government is again in the running for the Seal of Good Housekeeping award based on the results of the recent evaluation conducted by the DILG provincial and regional offices.||| |||buy albenza online with |||
“Koronadal City again passed the validation to become a recipient of the award for 2012,” Leysa added.
Koronadal City Mayor Peter Miguel said they consider the award as a challenge and inspiration for them to continue with the implementation of various reforms that would ensure the institutionalization of effective, transparent and accountable governance within the local government.
He said the city government is presently working on various measures that would encourage more public participation in matters of local governance, sustain transparency in its operations and the streamlining of various processes related with the issuance of permits, licenses and other related documents.
