The Provincial Award Committee of the Local Legislative
Award evaluated the Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Tacurong on November 8, 2012.
The
Local Legislative Award is given to component cities and municipalities that
exhibit excellent performance based on the effectiveness of local agenda and
legislative tracking system, availability of legislative documents, efficiency
of performance, and quality of office set-up and staff complement.
Tacurong
Sanggunian boasts of its 1,247 ordinances since 1956 to June 2012. In 2012,
city councilors passed and approved 11 new ordinances on: requiring pregnant
women to give birth in the city birthing home; establishment of bagsakan
center; drag racing ban; institutionalization of the Iskolar ng Lungsod ng
Tacurong program; prohibition of posting/nailing/hanging/pasting political and
advertising materials; and budget appropriations.
The
provincial Committee lauded the unit’s performance including its efficient
processes in dealing with clients and its office ergonomics.

As the only component city in
Sultan Kudarat (SK), Tacurong hopes to make it to the regional level and
compete with Koronadal City and Kidapawan City.
“Of
course, our qualification will not only be about Tacurong being the only city
in SK. I believe that our sanggunian’s performance is really worth recognizing,”
said Mayor Lina Montilla.
Mayor Montilla also spoke well of
the outstanding leadership of Vice Mayor Charito Collado. In 2009 and with VM
Collado at the helm, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tacurong was recognized as
Regional Local Legislative Award winner. The City represented Region XII to the
national level.
The Local Legislative Award was
launched in 2006 by the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) in partnership with
the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to recognize the
exemplary performance of Sanggunian of component cities and municipalities in
legislating measures that establish meaningful local administration and
development.
