Parañaque City fails to qualify in 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) list of awardees

November 15, 2024December 10, 2024carlocarrasco

Just months after its embarrassing 27^th place finish among highly urbanized cities (HUC) in the 2024 Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI), the City of Parañaque suffered another setback as it failed to make it in the list of the 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) awardees which the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) released online very recently.

To put things in perspective, there were a total of 96 cities nationwide that were named as awardees of the SGLG for 2024. Among those 96 cities, 14 were from the National Capital Region (NCR). Among the 14 NCR cities, two cities of South Metro Manila made it as awardees – Muntinlupa City and Las Piñas City.

Parañaque City was completely missing from the 2024 list which clearly means it was not an awardee at all. In order to win the SGLG award, the local government unit (LGU) must pass the DILG’s strict standards. For transparency, posted below are images of the lists of the 96 cities that made it as 2024 SGLG awardees.

For further transparency, displayed below is the full 2024 SGLG document from the DILG for your view. Feel free to download a copy.

wp-1731560433405 Download

All in all, there were a total of 714 SGLG awardees for 2024 covering the cities, municipalities and provinces around the country. The 2024 SGLG awardees list was signed by DILG Secretary Juanito Victor C. Remulla. The official Facebook page of SGLG posted below its message to the 2024 awardees:

Hats off to the 714 awardees of the 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance!

Your commitment to excellence in public service and dedication to the principles of good governance have set a remarkable standard for local leadership. Your unwavering dedication to serving the people is an inspiration to us all.

Going back to Parañaque, this is not the first time the city failed to become an SGLG awardee. In 2023 list of SGLG awardees, eleven NCR cities were named and the City of Parañaque was not among them. Look at the image below.

Now that Parañaque City is ending 2024 with a very bad CMCI finish and the failure to qualify for an SGLG award, one has to wonder what has the current City Government been doing with regards to public service, governance, financial administration, disaster preparedness, social protection, health compliance, public safety, peace and order, and more.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you satisfied with the way your Mayor and your City Government have been doing their jobs? Do you think it is time for the City Government to realize that other LGUs are more competitive and doing better jobs with regards to local governance? Do you think Parañaque City can still improve? Do these results affect your decision as to which local candidates would you vote for in the May 2025 local elections?
