Campaign promises
LGU recognitions during their term (1)
Awarded to the LGU while Michael Miranda 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.
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 Santiago in years Michael Miranda was mayor 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 →
