Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Misamis Oriental; 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

Campaign promises

Promises are added with the date, source, and responsible office. They are only marked “Completed” when there is documentary evidence, never based on campaign statements alone.

LGU recognitions during their term (1)

Awarded to the LGU while Dennis Roa 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.

  • Galing Pook
    Improving Local Government Income through Municipal Economic Enterprise and Development Office
    2005 · Naawan, Misamis Oriental

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 Naawan in years Dennis Roa was mayor for the whole calendar year. COA audits the local government unit, not the official.

  • 2024
    Qualified opinion
    26 of 48 prior COA recommendations fully implemented (54.2%), 22 not implemented

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 →

Awards & achievements

Each achievement is classified as an official award, a public recognition, an independently verified accomplishment, a self-reported achievement, or a campaign claim. Campaign materials are never treated as independent evidence.
