Great news, everyone! Our municipality has officially earned the CY 2025 Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) recognition from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and this resolution formally celebrates this huge win for all of us!

 What is this recognition all about?
 
Think of it as an "excellence award" for how our local government manages its funds and operations. It’s given to LGUs that show:
✅ Full transparency in all our transactions
✅ Strong accountability in every project and expense
✅ Prudent and responsible financial management
✅ Effective, honest, and responsive governance
 
This isn’t just a certificate, it’s proof that public funds are being used properly, efficiently, and truly for the benefit of every New Lucena resident!
 
This success belongs to all of us!
 
This achievement didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of hard work, dedication, and teamwork from:
 
- Our Local Finance Committee
- Municipal Accounting Office
- Municipal Treasurer’s Office
- Municipal Budget Office
- Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO)
- Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator’s Office (MPDC)
- All municipal officials and staff who diligently followed every requirement and standard
 
From keeping accurate records to making wise financial decisions and every effort added up to this milestone!
 
What does this resolution say?
 
Passed during the regular session last July 1, 2026, this document officially commends everyone involved and recognizes our municipal government for successfully passing the assessment. It also reminds us to keep up the great work: to uphold integrity, transparency, and excellence in public service, and to keep initiatives that serve our community front and center.
 
 Why these matters for you
 
When an LGU earns this recognition, it opens more doors for us! It builds trust with partners, makes us eligible for more national government programs and funding opportunities, and assures you that your taxes and contributions are being put to good use.
 
This is a proud moment for New Lucena—and we’re just getting started! Here’s to reaching even greater heights together.
