And the Winners are . . .


The Regional Awards Committee (RAC) composed of the DILG (Chair), Philippine Councilors League (PCL), DBM, DA, and DSWD has just completed its validation of the regional nominees to the Local Legislative Awards for Region VI.

The winners in each of the four (4) categories are: Bacolod City for highly urbanized cities; San Carlos City in Negros Occidental for component cities; San Jose de Buenavista in Antique for the 1st-3rd class municipalities; and Mina, Iloilo for the 4th- 6th class municipalities. The said LGUs will be officially honored and given cash awards during the PCL Assembly this February. The regional winners will be Region VI nominees to the national awards in March. This early, the RAC is very optimistic that San Carlos City with its IT-enabled legislative processes and tracking will make it as among the national winners.

The Legislative Awards is in its maiden search and an initiative of the DILG and the PCL to give due recognition to the best practices promoted by the Sanggunians of provinces, cities and municipalities.
