DIPOLOG CITY, May
17 (PIA) - - The city government here got another feather to its cap recently.
The Bureau of Local
Government Supervision (BLGS) of the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) bared that the city government led by Mayor Evelyn T. Uy had
successfully complied with the “Seal of Good Housekeeping” (SGH) after it met
the standards set by the DILG for good governance.
The DILG said the
city would receive more than P2 million from the Special Local Road Fund (SLRF)
as its prize for being an SGH awardee. Said amount would be used to improve,
maintain repair and/or rehabilitate the city’s road network.
DILG found that the
city leadership has been strictly implementing the Full Disclosure Program
(FDP), has adopted appropriate strategies in executing its projects, programs
and services, and got no adverse findings from the Commission on Audit (COA) in
its utilization of funds. Local legislations, development plans, fund sourcing,
transparency, financial accountability and other best practices of the city
government were also being considered by SGH evaluators. (FPG/PIA-Zamboanga del
