Pulse check

Do you approve of how Mer Arocha is doing the job?

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

No family relationships or surname bloc on record
No documented relatives, and no other 2025 officials in this province share the surname.

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 LGU while Mer Arocha 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.

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.

A transparent composite of measurable public-service indicators. It does not measure personal integrity, and unproven allegations are never used as a penalty. Weights are demonstration settings you can change.
