DILG Southern Leyte Turns Over FY 2024 SGLG-IF Vehicle Project in Silago

Enhanced government mobility and more efficient public service delivery now benefit the people of Silago following the successful turnover of the FY 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance–Incentive Fund (SGLG-IF) Project: Purchase and Acquisition of Mass Transport Vehicle in Silago, Southern Leyte, held on May 25, 2026.

With a contract amount of β‚±1,399,888.00, the project was officially delivered on April 29, 2026. Through the acquisition of the mass transport vehicle, the LGU is now better equipped to support various municipal activities, facilitate government operations, and provide more accessible transportation services for the community, especially during official functions, emergency situations, and other public service-related activities.

In his message, Provincial Director Danilo A. Laguitan commended the LGU for its dedication to good governance, which paved the way for the municipality to become a recipient of the SGLG Incentive Fund project. He emphasized that the project serves as a recognition of the LGU’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective public service delivery. He likewise encouraged the local government to properly maintain and take good care of the vehicle to ensure that it will continuously serve the people of Silago and provide long-term benefits to the community for many years to come.

The turnover ceremony was attended by DILG Southern Leyte personnel led by Provincial Director Danilo A. Laguitan, MLGOO Dennis C. Padolina, LGOO VI Jathniel F. Ando, PDMU Engr. III Joey S. Rich, and Engr. II Joshua Rod T. Canales, together with Municipal Mayor Lemuel P. Honor, Vice Mayor Sandielito A. Ando, Sangguniang Bayan Members, department heads, key functionaries, and members of the community.

Today, the newly acquired mass transport vehicle stands as a symbol of good governance and progress, strengthening the municipality’s capacity to deliver timely, responsive, and people-centered services while further advancing the welfare and development of the people of Silago.

DILG Southern Leyte Monitors First Batch of FALGU 2026 Rice Distribution in Brgy. Badiangan, Hinunangan

To ensure the proper and effective implementation of the rice distribution program and that government assistance directly reached the intended beneficiaries, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Southern Leyte, led by Provincial Director Danilo A. Laguitan together with the Project Development and Management Unit (PDMU), conducted on-site monitoring during the first batch of the Distribution of Rice Assistance in Brgy. Badiangan, Hinunangan, Southern Leyte under the FY 2026 Financial Assistance to Local Government Units (FALGU) on May 25, 2026.

The program forms part of the continuing efforts to uplift the lives of families and provide meaningful support to communities, where each qualified beneficiary received 10 kilos of rice to provide relief and help ease the daily burden of families affected by economic challenges and rising commodity prices. It likewise highlights support for the local agricultural sector, as the rice distributed under the program was locally sourced from farmers within Hinunangan, in compliance with Republic Act No. 11321, or the Sagip Saka Act, which promotes and strengthens the local economy and livelihood, thereby helping improve the income of local farmers while simultaneously extending assistance to the community.

The activity in Brgy. Badiangan marks only the initial phase of the rice distribution program, as LGU Hinunangan is set to continue the distribution in other barangays to ensure that more families throughout the municipality will benefit from the assistance.

Through continued collaboration and monitoring efforts, DILG Southern Leyte remains committed to promoting transparency, accountability, and the effective implementation of government-funded programs for the benefit of the people.
