The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has announced its plan to recognize and honor city and municipal “Sanggunian” or local boards that have shown innovation and exemplary practices in local legislation through the 2023 Local Legislative Award (LLA).

DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos expressed, “Innovative local legislation is a conduit to excellent public service. Through the 2023 LLA, we hope to recognize the exemplary contribution of our city and municipal legislative bodies and their enormous role in local governance and, ultimately, in public service.”

The 2023 LLA aims to commend the outstanding performance of the Sangguniang Panlungsod and Bayan in legislating measures that have significantly contributed to the administration and development of local government units (LGUs) from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2022.

Under DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-092, Sanggunians will be evaluated based on several criteria, including the responsiveness of their legislative agenda, availability of legislative documents, effectiveness and efficiency of their performance, legislative citations and awards received, and the capacity development of their legislators and staff.

Secretary Abalos emphasized, “With the LLA, we can inspire local legislators to keep making sound and effective policies that address the needs of their localities and contribute to realizing the country’s collective long-term vision.”

The LLA is divided into provincial, regional, and national levels. At the provincial evaluation, city and municipal Sanggunians must achieve an overall performance rating of 80 percent or higher to qualify for the regional level. Similarly, at the regional level, Sanggunians can compete nationally with a total score of 85 percent and above.

The winners at each level will receive trophies and cash prizes from the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) and the Vice Mayors League of the Philippines (VMLP). Regional winners will also be honored with a plaque of commendation from PCL and VMLP national offices. Lastly, the national winners will be recognized with trophies and cash prizes from PCL and VMLP national offices and partners.

To ensure a fair and comprehensive evaluation, the awards committee will be chaired by DILG and vice-chaired by PCL and VMLP. It will comprise members from various government agencies and organizations, including the Department of Agriculture, Social Welfare and Development, Budget and Management, Environment and Natural Resources, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 🇵🇭👏🏆
