BAGUIO CITY – The
Regional Development Council gathered a regional assessment team on Feb. 12 to
discuss criteria and selection process for the 2019 F.L.A.M.E. (Forwarding
Local Autonomy Medal of Excellence) Awards for provincial, municipal and city
local government units (LGUs) of the Cordillera.
FLAME
awardees will be chosen by the RDC regional awards committee chaired by
NEDA-CAR with the regional assessment team chaired by DILG.
The winners
are selected based on previous awards received recognizing the respective LGU’s
efforts towards good governance, the LGU’s support to RDC initiatives and
advocacies on regional development and autonomy, and its participation in
RDC-led activities.
The FLAME
awards aim to give recognition to LGUs that excel in good governance efforts
and dynamic participation in regional development. The previous FLAME awards
were held in 2016 in three categories: (1) provincial and highly urbanized
city, (2) component city and 1st to 3rd class municipalities, and (3)
4th to 6th class municipalities. In 2016, Baguio City was the
champion followed by Mountain Province and Ifugao in the provincial and highly
urbanized city category. La Trinidad, Benguet and Bauko, Mountain Province were
the champions in their respective categories. Previous winners included the
province of Benguet, the municipalities of Alfonso Lista, Ifugao, Sta. Marcela,
Apayao, and Tublay, Benguet.
The awards
committee will honor the new winners during the culmination event of the 2019
