The EXCELL awards of DILG recognizes best managed LGUs in Western Visayas, in terms of their best practices, achievements and innovations in governance, administration, social services, economic development, environmental management and local legislation.
A DILG team is arriving today in Negros Occidental for the final screening and judging.
