For the second consecutive year, the Province of Guimaras has been awarded the prestigious Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
The awarding ceremony was held on December 9, 2024, at the Manila Hotel.
Governor JC Rahman A. Nava, MD, received the award alongside DILG-Guimaras Provincial Director Roselyn B. Quintana, CESO V, and Congresswoman Ma. Lucille L. Nava, MD.
The Municipality of Nueva Valencia also earned the SGLG distinction, with Mayor Paul Vincent De La Cruz accepting the award.

The SGLG is the highest accolade conferred on local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines, recognizing excellence in core performance areas: Financial Administration and Sustainability, Disaster Preparedness, Social Protection and Sensitivity, Health Compliance and Responsiveness, Safety, Peace and Order, Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness, Environmental Management, Tourism, Heritage Development, Culture and Arts, Sustainable Education, and Youth Development.
Guimaras was one of 41 provinces in the country to receive the coveted seal after passing the 2024 assessment.
The province also earned the same recognition in 2023, demonstrating consistent excellence in governance.
Nueva Valencia is among the 577 municipalities in the Philippines to achieve the 2024 SGLG award.
Guimaras’ sustained success across multiple areas of governance has enabled it to meet and exceed the rigorous standards set by the SGLG.
