The Department of the Interior and Local Government–National Capital Region (DILG-NCR), through the DILG Muntinlupa Field Office, joined the Muntinlupa City Government in the turnover of a Patient Transport Vehicle (PTV) funded through the Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLG IF) on September 17, 2026, at the Museo ng Muntinlupa, Barangay Tunasan, Muntinlupa City.

The PTV was provided to Muntinlupa City as an incentive for being conferred the CY 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), recognizing the City Government’s performance in various areas of good governance and effective local service delivery.

The ceremony was attended by Muntinlupa City Mayor Hon. Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon; Dr. Carolyn H. Magalong of the City Health Office; DILG Muntinlupa Field Office Director Mary Anne B. Planas, CESO V; and DILG-NCR Project Development and Management Unit (PDMU) Chief Ronald R. Portales.

The newly acquired PTV will be utilized by the Muntinlupa City Health Office to strengthen the delivery of health and medical services, particularly in providing patient transport for Muntinlupeños in need of medical assistance and related services.

Mayor Biazon emphasized that the City Government opted to translate its SGLG incentive into a tangible investment that would directly benefit the community.

“Early this year, we provided five PTVs for Ospital ng Muntinlupa and the barangays, and recently, we distributed one new fire truck to each of the barangays. We hope that this new vehicle will be used efficiently and help serve more Muntinlupeños,” Mayor Biazon said.

The project demonstrates how the SGLG Incentive Fund can be transformed into concrete programs and projects that enhance local government service delivery and respond to the needs of communities.

Through the SGLG, the DILG National Capital Region continues to promote and recognize excellence in local governance while encouraging local government units to sustain good governance practices and channel incentives toward projects that provide meaningful and responsive services to their constituents.
