A total of 41 local government units (LGUs) in Bohol, representing 85% of the province’s LGUs, have passed the Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) assessment for Calendar Year 2024.
These LGUs demonstrated strong financial transparency and accountability, earning either an Unqualified or Qualified Audit Opinion from the Commission on Audit.
On March 3, 2025, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) released the official list of passing LGUs through its Facebook page.
The municipalities that met the GFH criteria include Alburquerque, Alicia, Antequera, Baclayon, Balilihan, Batuan, Bien Unido, Bilar, Calape, Candijay, Carmen, Catigbian, Clarin, Corella, Cortes, Dagohoy, Danao, Dauis, Dimiao, Garcia Hernandez, Guindulman, Inabanga, Lila, Loay, Loboc, Loon, Maribojoc, Panglao, Pilar, President Carlos P. Garcia, Sagbayan, San Isidro, San Miguel, Sevilla, Sierra Bullones, Sikatuna, Trinidad, Tubigon, Ubay, Valencia, and the city of Tagbilaran.
The 41 LGUs complied with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP), ensuring the timely and complete posting of required financial documents across three platforms and the FDP portal.
GFH is a program under the DILG that recognizes LGUs practicing transparent and accountable fiscal management. It is a key component of the Seal of Good Local Governance and affirms an LGU’s adherence to accounting and auditing standards.
LGUs that pass the GFH assessment qualify for the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) and may receive additional programs and capacity-building support from the DILG.
