DILG R5 congratulates the 24 Barangays from the Bicol Region declared as National Passers of the 2021 Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangay (SGLGB) by the National Quality Committee (NQC).

The SGLGB is a progressive assessment system that gives distinction to barangays for their remarkable performance across governance areas, putting primacy to integrity and good performance as pillars of meaningful local autonomy.

The SGLGB requires the barangays to pass all three (3) core areas in Safety, Peace and Order; Financial Administration and Sustainability; Disaster Preparedness; and at least one (1) essential area in Social Protection and Sensitivity; Business Friendliness and Competitiveness; and Environment Management.

Once again, congratulations!
