Pulse check

Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Family connections

Same-surname bloc in Cotabato

3 of 199 local seats are held by officials surnamed Sacdalan (2025 elections).

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 (2)

Awarded to the province while Jesus Sacdalan was governor. 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
    Children First Program
    2008 · Cotabato
  • Galing Pook
    Kabalikat PALMA Infrastructure Program
    2007 · Cotabato

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 Alamada in years Jesus Sacdalan was mayor for the whole calendar year. COA audits the local government unit, not the official.

    Qualified opinion

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
