MANILA. San Pablo City has achieved a significant milestone by being awarded the 2023 Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), a highly coveted recognition conferred by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). The awarding ceremony took place at the historic Manila Hotel, adding a touch of grandeur to the occasion.
This honor underscores the city’s steadfast dedication to governance excellence, transparency, and outstanding community service. Mayor Vicente B. Amante, alongside the Sanggunian Panlungsod, department heads, and city employees, played pivotal roles in this achievement. Their collective efforts have set a benchmark for other local government units to emulate.
“This recognition reflects the hard work and unity of San Pablo City’s leadership and its people. It’s a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together,” Mayor Amante said during the ceremony.
The SGLG is regarded as the most prestigious accolade for local government units in the Philippines. It recognizes exemplary performance across critical areas of governance, including Financial Administration, Disaster Preparedness, Social Protection Peace and Order, Business Friendliness and Competitiveness, Environmental Management, and more.
This recognition serves as both a celebration and an inspiration for San Pablo City, affirming its status as a thriving and responsible community.
