Dear Nadine Michaela Dinoy,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Mar 07, 2019 10:54:12 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Status of Consolidated bill Seal of Good Local Governance.

Response to Request

Relative to your request, please be informed that the inquired bill / proposed measure has already been enacted into law as   Republic Act No. 11292, otherwise known as “AN ACT ESTABLISHING AND INSTITUTIONALIZING THE SEAL OF GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS, AND ALLOCATING FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SEAL OF GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE FUND.” was signed by the President last 12 April 2019. You may access the said legislation as well as all the other laws and presidential issuances on the Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines (https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/).

Also, may we seek for your indulgence and understanding for our inability to reply to your query immediately and within the prescribed period. Please be informed that the PLLO designated receivers were not able to access the e-FOI portal due to technical and administrative problems in the past year of implementation of the said portal. It was only this month, through the assistance of the PCOO that the PLLO was able to address these difficulties and hence access the portal.   


If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office addressed to Secretary Adelino B.

We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.

If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Assistant Secretary Romulo Arugay
