LA CARLOTA CITY
A TOP PERFORMING COMPONENT CITY
La Carlota City was recently cited by the Department of the Interior and Local Government as one of the top performing cities in the country for 2010 for "initiating and implementing programs designed to improve the lives of their constituents, environment protection, financial accountability and commitment to transparency". The recognition was given to 10 provinces, 10 mayors of highly urbanized and independent componet cities and 10 component cities for their performance in these key areas of governance.
The other outstanding component cities are: Ligao (Albay), Laoag (La Union), San Fernando, Vigan, Gingoog, Cabanatuan, Dipolog, Iriga and Batac.
DILG Secretary Jesse M. Robredo complimented the Local Government Units for their performance. "I laud these local governments for their commitment in elevating and maintaining the highest standards of public service delivery in their respective localities. I hope that their shining examples will inspire others to strive hard in the performance of their duties," he said.
