The SGLGB is awarded to barangays that meet strict criteria in key areas such as financial administration, disaster preparedness, social protection, peace and order, and environmental management. Mayor Lazatin emphasized that the award represents the culmination of consistent efforts by Barangay Mining to ensure effective and responsive local governance.
In congratulating Barangay Mining, Mayor Lazatin expressed that their achievement is a testament to their commitment to public service. “We are proud of this recognition, which mirrors our shared vision of good governance in Angeles City,” he added.

The ₱100,000 incentive will be used to further enhance the programs and services in Barangay Mining, ensuring continued progress and fostering further improvements in governance. This initiative underscores Mayor Lazatin’s commitment to supporting grassroots governance and empowering barangays in their mission of service.
Mayor Lazatin’s leadership continues to set a high standard for local governance, and the recognition of Barangay Mining is just one example of how effective leadership at the grassroots level can improve the overall well-being of the community.
