Mayor Arthur Robes is with mixed emotions as receives the award from DILG, the Seal of Good Local Governance. He admits that he is Happy with the award and recognition of what he has done for the City if San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan and at the same time nervous of how they will maintain the recognition.

Mayor Robes representing the City of San Jose Del Monte is one of the recipients that embodies the personality of a public servant.  Continuously serving for the development and progress of the city. Addition to milestones of the city.
The Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) refers to "an award, incentive, honor and recognition-based program for all LGUs, and is a continuing commitment for LGUs to continually progress and improve their performance." It was disclosed by Mayor Robes that the award is long over due already because one of the requirements weren't immediately met. But gladly, Mayor Robes together with council and members of the community were able to make some problematic barangays to be drug free.

Mayor Robes welcomes all the awards and recognition as long as it is for the city.
