“The SGLG is a testament to our efficient, honest, progressive, and people-oriented service to all Batang Kankaloo. We dedicate this achievement to all of you,” he said.

In reaffirming his administration’s commitment, Malapitan vowed to uphold accountability and transparency.

“You can expect that we will continue to go beyond our responsibilities and repay your strong trust by maintaining an accountable and corruption-free governance,” he said.

The SGLG, initiated by the DILG, is awarded to local government units that excel in key performance areas, serving as a benchmark for exemplary local governance across the Philippines.
