ANGELES CITY, Philippines – The city government has been awarded the Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan announced yesterday.
Pamintuan said the award is proof of the soundness of the city’s financial policies and transparency.
He said the city government has been consistent in complying with the DILG’s policy on full disclosure.
The GFH is part of the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), which is an annual evaluation conducted by the DILG.
Local government units undergo a series of assessments to be able to pass the LGPMS. Those that excel are given the award.
The city government has been an annual recipient of the GFH since 2010.
