Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Agusan Del Norte; a common surname is very likely to include unrelated families. The list above shows only the punong barangay and SK chairs.
A surname bloc is officials elected in one province who carry the same surname as last or middle name; barangay & SK officials with the same last name are listed separately. Shared names may not mean kinship, and a bloc is not evidence of wrongdoing. Definition and data:BetterGov.ph Dynasties

LGU recognitions during their term (1)
Awarded to the LGU while Babie Lim was mayor. These are not personal awards: the seal or award goes to the local government unit, which includes the work of its staff, council and partners.
Recognitions are given to the local government unit, not to a person. An official is shown only as being in office when the LGU was recognized. Matched by office and year from election records (in office on 1 December of the award year). Sources & method →
COA audits of the LGU during their term
Commission on Audit results for Santiago in years Babie Lim was mayor for the whole calendar year. COA audits the local government unit, not the official.
COA says an audit opinion is not a rating, score or grade and should not be ranked. It covers whether the financial statements are fairly presented — it is not a finding of wrongdoing. Sources & method →
