2022 PILOT TESTING OF THE SEAL OF GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE FOR

BARANGAY (SGLGB)

MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. ____________

Date: _____________

Reference Number: Memorandum Circular No. 2021-074

Date: July 5, 2021
Rev. No. 00

1. Background

The Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangay (SGLGB) is a progressive

assessment system that gives distinction to the remarkable performance of
barangays in various governance areas, putting primacy integrity and good
performance in pursuit for meaningful local autonomy and development.

The first round of pilot testing of the SGLGB was conducted in 2019, pursuant to
DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2018-194 dated November 6, 2018 with the
subject: “Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangay”. 1,034 barangays
nationwide were assessed as pilot barangays wherein a total of 207, or 20%
barangays have passed the assessment. On the other hand, the second round of
pilot testing was conducted in 2021, in compliance to DILG Memorandum Circular
2021-074 dated July 6, 2021 with the subject: “2021 Pilot Testing of Seal of Good
Local Governance for Barangay (SGLGB)” wherein 1,344 barangays nationwide
were assessed, and 549, or 40% barangays have passed.

For this year, the Department shall implement the third and last round of pilot testing
of the SGLGB, to gauge the effectiveness and appropriateness of the parameters
developed in assessing the barangays. The indicators shall introduce COVID-19
related parameters. Moreover, this year’s assessment shall be led by the City and/or
Municipal governments while actively engaging partner-stakeholders in the process.
The results of the pilot testing will serve as additional information in the regular
review and evaluation of the Council of Good Local Governance (CGLG) pursuant to
Section 2 (c) of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 11292.

Finally, with the implementation of the Supreme Court Ruling on the Mandanas-
Garcia Petitions which takes effect this year, the need to exercise oversight
functions are more pronounced amongst LGUs. Hence, there is a need to identify
performance gaps that may serve as bases for the development of capacity
development interventions pursuant to DILG MC No. 2021-067, “Adoption of a

Page 1 of 15
 Capacity Development (CAPDEV) Framework in the Planning, Design and
Implementation for LGUs”, and the implementation of SGLGB has become
imperative.

2. Purpose

This Memorandum Circular is being issued to prescribe the general policies,

procedures, and timelines in the implementation of the 2022 SGLGB Pilot Testing to
ensure that all concerned are able to abide with the prescribed processes for the
overall implementation of the program, such as the following:

2.1. Validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the parameters developed in

assessing barangay governance, including the COVID-19-related parameters;
2.2. Identify practical/potential issues, concerns and challenges that might arise in
the full implementation of the program;
2.3. Advocate community awareness and strengthen key partnerships among
stakeholders;
2.4. Evaluate the readiness of barangays to fully participate;
2.5. Involve other partner-stakeholders in the assessment/validation processes to
fully exercise their oversight functions over the barangays;
2.6. Empower barangays, during the pilot testing, to thrive and excel in governance
areas being evaluated through the program; and,
2.7. Identify or gather recommendations on the appropriate strategy for its national
implementation.
