  • Benjamin D. Lim Jr.Punong Barangay · Brgy. La Paz, Santiago

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

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 Franklin 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.
