    The provincial government of Agusan del Sur scored high in planning, budgeting, revenue mobilization, financial management and budget execution, procurement and resource mobilization meriting from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) its Seal of Good Housekeeping.

    With the seal, the province received a P7 million incentive from DILG’s Performance Challenge Fund which was handed over by Caraga Regional Director Lilibeth Famacion to Governor Eddiebong Plaza recently.

    With another P7 million from the provincial government as counterpart, the total amount will be used for the construction and upgrading of bio-sand filter facilities and the establishment of rainwater collection services in the province this year.

    Famacion said the PCF is a performance-based incentive conferred to LGUs for achieving the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) with the aim of stimulating their performance in putting a premium on development initiatives for their constituents.

    Governor Plaza said the challenge may be daunting but with strong will and the cooperation of the provincial government work force, sound fiscal management and transparent and accountable governance were implemented.

    “I will continue to see to it that the best services shall be delivered to our constituents and this can be ensured through effective and accountable governance, this is my commitment to the Agusanons,” the local chief executive declared.
