The Bago City government earned an accolade from the Department of Interior and Local Government-Negros Island Region (DILG-NIR) recognizing them among the Top 5 best locally-funded project ‘implementers’ in the region for the first quarter of 2017.
Bago City Mayor Nicholas Yulo accepted the recognition from City Local Government Operations Officer (CLGOO) Rex Abello.
According to CLGOO Abello, the award was given to Bago City for its speedy compliance with project requirements and prompt submission of reports.
Meanwhile, the plaque for the 2015 Seal of Good Local Governance, which was awarded by former DILG Secretary Ismael Sueno to the city last November 2016, arrived and was also presented by Abello to Yulo.
According to the citation, the seal symbolizes the city’s journey towards good local governance upholding the standards of transparency, integrity, and service delivery.
The mayor congratulated the employees of Bago City Hall for their concerted effort in providing the best public service. He thanked the DILG for the recognition, noting, it will serve as his daily reminder to strive harder for a better leadership of Bago City. (PR)
