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
No campaign promises tracked yet
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 province while Matthew Manotoc 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.
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 Ilocos Norte in years Matthew Manotoc was governor 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 →
Awards & achievements
No awards or achievements recorded yet
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.
