Study Notes

SGLG Law or RA 11292

The SGLG (Seal of Good Local Governance) is a program designed to assess the performance of Local Government Units (LGUs) based on 10 key areas.
The program is governed by Republic Act 11292.
The Council of Good Local Governance (Council) is established to oversee the SGLG program.
The Council is composed of representatives from various government agencies:
- Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)
- Department of Budget and Management (DBM)
- Department of Finance (DOF)
- Department of Health (DOH)
- Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
- Department of Education (DepEd)
- Department of Tourism (DOT)
- Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
- National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)
- Office of Civil Defense
- One representative from the basic sectors nominated by the National Anti-Poverty Commission.
The DILG Secretary acts as Chairperson of the Council.
The Council is responsible for:
- Developing and promulgating performance indicators for evaluating LGUs.
- Reviewing and revising performance indicators based on national long-term development plans.
- Evaluating the impact of the SGLG on LGUs and recommending any necessary enhancements, continuation, or amendments to the program.
- Creating technical working groups for assistance in specific areas.
- Submitting annual reports on performance indicators, recommendations, and impact assessment results to key government officials.
The ten areas assessed under the SGLG are:

- Business Friendliness and Competitiveness
- Safety, Peace and Order

An LGU that meets all the assessment criteria will be awarded the SGLG and receives a corresponding incentive.
The SGLG Incentive Fund is created within the General Appropriations Act (GAA) to finance the incentives.
The Council determines the monetary incentives based on the number of awardees and can re-evaluate and increase these amounts subject to fund availability.
The SGLG Incentive Fund cannot be used for certain expenses, including:
- Financing micro-credits and loans.
- Travel expenses unless directly related to SGLG purposes.
- Administrative expenses of the LGU.
- Purchase, maintenance, or repair of vehicles not directly used for SGLG activities.
- Salaries, wages, emoluments, per diems, or overtime pay of employees.
- Construction, repair, or refurnishing of administrative offices.
- Loan guarantees.
The DILG releases governance assessment reports to LGUs, identifying areas needing improvement.
National government agencies provide technical assistance to help LGUs address their identified gaps and improve their performance.
