The Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangays is an award, incentive, honor and recognition-based program for all barangays which encourages their commitment to continuously progress, improve their performances along various governance areas, and become champions of good barangay governance in their areas of jurisdiction.
In the long run, the SGLGB will be a progressive performance assessment system that gives barangays distinction for their remarkable performance across governance areas, putting primacy to integrity and good performance as pillars of meaningful local autonomy and development.
The principle “3+1” applies where a barangay needs to pass all of the three (3) core areas and at least one (1) of the three (3) essential areas.
