For 2021, the Awards will be launched on February 18 at 4:00 in the afternoon and streamed live via the Galing Pook Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/galingpook). The theme for this year's Awards is "GobyerNEW: Magagaling na Programa mula sa Magagaling na Pook".programs that exemplified adaptiveness, innovation, resiliency, and excellence during these difficult times.

If your local government unit has programs that exemplified adaptiveness, innovation, resiliency, and excellence during these difficult times, encourage your local officials to join. To understand more about the Awards, let us see each other during the launch.

    For your program to be considered for the Galing Pook Awards, it must meet the following minimum requirements:

    It must have involved or engaged processes within a local government unit (barangay, municipality, city, or province) even if the program might have been initiated (either independently or jointly) by an NGO, CSO and/or an LGU;
