The 2nd LGU Web awards

Accepting the trophies of the 2nd LGU web awards from L-R:
Vice-Mayor Gabriel H. Bordado of Naga City, Vice-Mayor Dominador Rosales Jr.
of Pateros, Councilor Jose Tabada Jr. of Trinidad, Bohol, and Rex Mangalindan,
Head of Bulacan's Provincial IT Office (PITO)


The National Computer Center in partnership with the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communications conducted this year's 2nd annual eLGU web awards. The contest had two categories for provincial, city, and municipal levels: the NCC-Content Management System (CMS) and the independent category. The NCC-CMS category is for LGU websites that use NCC's website template with an online content management feature. The independent category is for LGUs that use other web development tools.

The municipality of Pateros bagged the NCC-CMS category
. Winners for the independent category in their respective levels were: the Province of Bulacan, Naga City, and the municipality of Trinidad in Bohol. This is Naga City's 2nd award and should they win again next year, they will be elevated to the eLGU Hall of Fame.

I highly recommend that you visit the sites and see for yourself why they deserve to win. There is much hope in the country with eGovernance. It cuts red tape and promotes transparency.
