DILG Bohol proudly congratulates the Province of Bohol, the City of Tagbilaran, and all 47 municipalities for successfully passing the CY 2025 Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) Assessment.

This remarkable achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of Bohol's local government units to transparency, accountability, and sound fiscal management. Through consistent compliance with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP) requirements, particularly the timely and complete posting of required financial documents, as well as adherence to the Commission on Audit (COA) requirement of an unmodified or qualified opinion on the most recent audit report, these LGUs have demonstrated their dedication to good governance and the responsible stewardship of public resources.

Achieving a 100% passing rate in the GFH assessment is a testament to the collective efforts of local chief executives, sanggunian members, local finance committees, and all public servants who work tirelessly to uphold the highest standards of financial accountability and transparency.

Congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment!

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region VII, in partnership with DILG Bohol and Cebu Technological University (CTU), successfully conducted the Provincial Presentation of Survey Results on the Local Government Code Review and Amendment Program (LGC RevAmp) on June 10, 2026, at Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City.

The activity was graced by Regional Director Leocadio T. Trovela, CESO III, together with DILG Region VII officials and personnel, underscoring the Department’s strong support for the ongoing review and amendment of the Local Government Code of 1991. Also present were Provincial Director Johnjoan A. Mende, representatives from various national government agencies, and local government officials from across the province.

During the program, the CTU Research Team, led by Dr. Adrian P. Ybañez, DVM, PhD, presented the results of the study entitled “Challenges in Implementing the Philippine Local Government Code of 1991: Implications for Policy Review and Legislative Reform.” The presentation featured the survey methodology, key findings, provincial-level insights, emerging issues and policy gaps, and priority recommendations drawn from the proposed amendments and survey responses submitted by local government units in Bohol.

An open forum followed, providing participants the opportunity to exchange insights and recommendations on strengthening the implementation of the Local Government Code. The activity concluded with a commitment-signing ceremony, reaffirming the collective commitment of stakeholders to support evidence-based policy reforms and responsive local governance.

The initiative reflects the continuing partnership between DILG and CTU in promoting research-driven policymaking and legislative reforms aimed at enhancing local autonomy, improving governance systems, and addressing emerging challenges faced by local government units.
