For the second time now, the local government of Tagum elevated its image as a “champion of exemplary local governance” with its successful win of the 2012 Gawad Pamana ng Lahi ng Award, the brainchild awards system initiated by the Department of the Interior and Local Government through the late Sec. Jesse M. Robredo.
Mayor Rey T. Uy received the glass trophy and a cheque amounting to two million pesos from City DILG Director Eliza P. Mendoza on December 3, 2012 in front of the city hall employees during their flag-raising ceremony.
“This award is anchored on the leadership of the local chief executive and his excellent administration in the promotion of effective and honest governance, creating an enabling environment for citizens and the private sector to reach their full potential,” said Director Mendoza in her remarks prior to the reenactment of the said award.
The Gawad Pamana ng Lahi recognizes exemplary performance of local government units in administrative, social, economic and environmental governance that upholds the value of accountability, transparency, and inclusivity in local administration and development.
