Throughout the pre-assessment, the team provided technical guidance and hands-on support to ensure that barangays clearly understood the standards and indicators of the SGLGB. At the conclusion of the activity, participants received detailed feedback highlighting their strengths, identifying areas for improvement, and outlining practical recommendations to address compliance gaps.

The activity also served as an important platform for dialogue, enabling local officials to raise concerns, seek clarifications, and exchange best practices in governance.

DILG Misamis Oriental emphasized that the pre-assessment is a proactive measure to help barangays meet national governance standards and enhance service delivery at the grassroots level.

With strengthened capacity and improved documentation, participating barangays are now better positioned to meet the rigorous requirements of the SGLGB.
