SILG
Transition from SGH to SGLG

here is a consistent clamor from our people for integrity and performance in public service. That is why our government never stops in instilling reforms to make our work better. As public servants, we are accountable to our people and responsible in our actions at all times. The Seal of Good Local Governance symbolizes integrity and good performance of local governments. It is a continuing challenge for provincial, city and municipal governments to do better today and in the years to come. - Secretary Mar Roxas

At the minimum, comply with the mandates of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Environmental Management)

he SGLG originated from SGH. From its pilot run in 2010, the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) promotes transparency and accountability in local operations. In 2012, 84% of provinces, cities and municipalities are SGH recipients. This high percentage shows readiness for greater challenges. Today, SGLG is introduced to challenge local governments to continue good governance practices while providing better public services.
