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

COA audits of the LGU during their term

Commission on Audit results for Trinidad in years Roberto Cajes was mayor for the whole calendar year. COA audits the local government unit, not the official.

  • 2024
    Unmodified opinion
    6 of 8 prior COA recommendations fully implemented (75%), 2 not implemented

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 →
