Campaign promises
LGU recognitions during their term (1)
Awarded to the province while Rahman Nava 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 →
