The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) visited the Municipality of Mambajao last September 6, 2022 for the annual Seal of Good Local Governance validation.

Municipal Mayor Ynigo Jesus D. Romualdo welcomed the DILG validation team led by Charles Anthony C. Vega, OIC Assistant Division Chief and Kim Nicole S. Samson, LGOO II in their official activity in the municipality.

The Seal of Good Local Governance or SGLG is a national mandate of the State under Republic Act 1192 to recognize the good performance of local government units in transparency and accountability. This includes the use of public funds, preparedness for challenges posed by disasters, sensitivity to the needs of vulnerable and marginalized sectors of society, implementations of health programs, investment and employment promotion, protection of constituency from threats to life and damage to property and safeguarding the integrity of the environment.

The Municipality of Mambajao is hopeful to bag this recognition in 2022 to add to its long list of awards and citations in various good governance programs.
