The Municipality of Paranas earned a perfect 10 out of 10 rating during the regional validation for the Regional Local Governance Champion (RLGC) held Tuesday, August 25.

The validation team, led by Team Leader LGOO VII Carolina O. Ampong, with LGOO V Engr. Myla M. Nicolasora, LGOO II Airene Niña V. Nacionales, LGOO II Atty. Marlito Joshua Amistoso, and LGOO II Engr. Roque G. Abeto, commended the municipality for its unity, leadership, and strong participation in the assessment.

The validation was attended by Mayor Elvira Babalcon, Vice Mayor Atty. Eunice Babalcon, and all members of the Sangguniang Bayan (SB). The validators particularly recognized the strong presence and support of the municipal legislative body, describing Paranas as a model in terms of participation and cooperation among local officials.

The validators also noted the municipality’s cleanliness and overall preparedness, observing that Paranas was among the first local government units they had assessed with such a notably clean and orderly presentation.

The RLGC validation assessed Paranas across 10 governance areas covering financial administration and sustainability, disaster preparedness, social protection and sensitivity, health compliance and responsiveness, sustainable education, business-friendliness and competitiveness, safety and peace and order, environmental management, tourism and cultural development, and youth development.

For Mayor Elvira Babalcon, the perfect score reflects more than recognition. She emphasized that the RLGC assessment is ultimately intended to ensure that local government efforts translate into good governance and responsive service for the people.

The 10 out of 10 rating reflects the collective efforts of the municipal government, its officials, employees, and partners in strengthening local governance and delivering services to the people of Paranas.
