CEBU TOP PERFORMING MAYORS FOR Q2 2026 RECOGNIZED UNDER THE GOVERNANCE AND PARTICIPATION INDEX "PULSO NG BAYAN"
In recognition of leadership that delivers results, Transparency Good Governance and Accountability Advocates & Visayas Social Pulse proudly announce the Cebu Top Performing Mayors for the 2nd Quarter of 2026 under the Governance and Participation Index "PULSO NG BAYAN."
This quarterβs recognition is anchored on the direct feedback of the people. The results are a product of an independent province-wide survey of 5,000 adult Cebuano respondents conducted from June 20 - 30, 2026 across all municipalities of Cebu.
WHY THEY ARE TOP PERFORMING
The Q2 2026 Top Performing Mayors distinguished themselves by excelling in the 5 pillars of the Governance and Participation Index:
1. Efficient Public Service Delivery β Responsive frontline services and accessible government programs
2. Transparency and Accountability β Strict compliance with Full Disclosure Policy and open governance
3. Citizen Participation β Regular barangay consultations, public hearings, and active feedback mechanisms
4. Resource Management and Anti-Corruption β Prudent management of town resources, zero tolerance for corruption, and measurable impact per peso spent
5. Social and Infrastructure Development β Impact projects in health, education, livelihood, and disaster preparedness
Observers noted that these Mayors managed their town resources very well. Budgets were aligned to priority needs, procurement was transparent, and services reached the barangays without delay. Most importantly, they demonstrated strong anti-corruption leadership β setting the tone that public funds are for the people.
WHY THEY MUST BE EMULATED
These Mayors prove that good governance is not an accident. It is a choice.
They should be emulated because they:
1. Put people first β Policies were shaped by what constituents actually need
2. Guarded public funds β Every program showed value for money and accountability
3. Listened and engaged β They turned the Mayorβs Office into a bridge, not a wall
4. Delivered with integrity β Leadership was measured by service, not by politics
βTheir performance sets the benchmark for Cebu. When resources are managed well and corruption is rejected, communities feel the difference. We are highlighting these best practices so other LGUs can replicate them.β
ON FAIRNESS: NON-POLITICAL AND FAIR TO ALL
We emphasize that the Governance and Participation Index "PULSO NG BAYAN" is non-political, impartial, and fair to all.
1.People-driven : Scores came directly from 5,000 adult respondents. No LGU was given special treatment.
2.*Independent : The survey and validation were conducted by a non-partisan team of researchers and analysts.
We remain firmly committed to integrity, honesty, and transparency in every process of this evaluation.
