The Himamaylan City government upgraded its security and disaster risk reduction and management efforts with four new rescue vehicles funded under the 2022 Seal of Good Local Governance – Incentive Fund.
The rescue vehicles worth P7 million were purchased after Himamaylan City garnered a SGLG in 2022.
Mayor Raymund Tongson said the project is a testament to the city’s commitment to the safety and welfare of Himamaylanons.
“This upgrade in our services is only made possible through the collective efforts of our city’s functionaries which enabled us to pass the DILG SGLG 2022 National Assessment,” Tongson said.
Himamaylan City also passed the SGLG National validation for 2023.
The back-to-back SGLG award of the local government is the first in the history of Himamaylan City, he said.*
