Oro Dads adopt 2023 CDO Citizen's Charter , Flooding Contingency Plan

The 20th City Council headed by City Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, on its Special Session last June 15, 2023 held at the Cagayan de Oro Convention Center, approved the 2023 Cagayan de Oro City Government Citizen’s Charter.

The approval of the Citizen’s Charter, considered as an indicator under the Business Friendliness and Competitiveness governance area, was in compliance with the assessment for this year’s Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) which was held last June 16, 2023.

As in the previous years, the SGLG maintains the “All-In” principle where the city has to pass all ten (10) governance areas. The commitments outlined in the Citizen’s Charter are anchored on transparency and accountability necessary in building trust between the government and its constituents.

In line with this, Vice Mayor Rodriguez and the members of the City Council has joined in the call of City Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy in achieving a “shared goal of a transparent and accountable government that serves the people of Cagayan de Oro with integrity and excellence.
