                                                                  ell  into  the  first  year  of  our  President,  the  LGU’s  /
                                                                  Local Government  Units presided by  our Mayors
        FOREWORD Whave had  to attend to the front lines  in battling the
                                                        priority programs  of the incumbent administration. It is no
                                                        longer satisfactory to administrate and manage the cities and
                                                        municipalities in addition to the battle against drugs, corruption
                                                        and terrorism. Having to deal with the grass roots issues has no
                                                        commonality or  a  template  to  address one  city/municipality  to
                                                        another. Communication lines altogether have become disruptive
                                                        if not temporarily. Hopefully these do not become permanent
                                                        considering  in  our  democracy  we  adhere  to  the  elections  every
                                                        three years. The responsibility today of our Honorable Mayors is
                                                        gargantuan task to say the least. There are no longer big or rich
                                                        cities or municipalities all having to subscribe to the constituents
                                                        who today require change with their hopes for an improved life.
                                                        Skilled management no longer dictates a passing grade but a bar
                                                        that has been raised in today’s world requiring populist ideas vis-
                                                        à-vis sound traditional judgments’.

                                                             Technical  innovations  have  introduced  fake  news  utilized
                                                        to propel forces of evil if not dissent if not even opposition from
                                                        losing candidates hopeful to regain their lost thrones to serve their
                                                        interests such like social media and “envelopmental journalism”.
                                                        Sadly, priority issues for discourse are placed in the backburner
                                                        such like globalization versus nationalism, legalism versus
                                                        environment, federalism, to name a few.

                                                             Our Mayors have to juggle the issues made priority by their
                                                        constituents over the national concerns.

                                                             The Most Outstanding Mayor Award for 2017 is a testament
                                                        of their achievements. It is the alternative to identifying specific
                                                        projects  through  awareness  platforms.  The  acknowledgment
                                                        of participating in and having been awarded Most Outstanding
                                                        Mayor  itself,  together  with  its  publication,  celebrates  a  mayor’s
                                                        achievements. There is no other strategic or pragmatic approach
                                                        that  celebrates these achievements.  we recognize the authority
                                                        and efficacy of the mayor who has served his or her constituents
                                                        with  competence,  integrity  with  the  sensitivity  to  address  right
                                                        and wrong.


                                                             To all those awarded Most Outstanding Mayor, kudos and
                                                        more power!
