Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Negros Oriental; 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

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.

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.

Performance

Public Accountability & Performance Index

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.
