DILG Leyte proudly congratulates all forty-two (42) local government units (LGUs) in the province for successfully passing the 2025 Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) assessment, marking a significant milestone of 100% compliance across Leyte.

Leading this achievement is the Provincial Government of Leyte, which likewise earned the 2025 GFH Mark alongside all forty-one (41) city and municipal governments in the province. This collective accomplishment underscores the strong commitment of Leyte LGUs to financial transparency, accountability, and sound fiscal management.

This year's result reflects a notable improvement from the 2024 assessment, where 36 out of 42 Leyte LGUs successfully passed the GFH evaluation. The increase to full compliance in 2025 highlights the sustained efforts of local governments in strengthening financial discipline and governance standards.

These LGUs passed the assessment by securing an Unqualified or Qualified Audit Opinion from the Commission on Audit (COA) based on the latest annual audit report and complying with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP), which requires the timely and complete posting of financial documents in public spaces and in the FDP Portal.

The attainment of 100% GFH compliance underscores the collective efforts of local chief executives, local finance committees, and LGU personnel in promoting transparency and responsible fiscal governance. It also reinforces Leyte's commitment to fostering public trust through accountable and efficient management of public resources.

Since its launch in 2010, the GFH has served as a benchmark for sound fiscal management among LGUs. DILG Leyte commends all awardees for this remarkable accomplishment and for setting a province-wide standard of excellence in local governance.
