Quezon City has emerged as the No. 1 most competitive local government unit for the fourth straight year.
The city government clinched five awards, including the prestigious “Overall Most Competitive Local Government Unit” under the Highly Urbanized Category from the Creative Cities and Municipalities Congress 2024 organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
It secured high spots in the categories of Overall Most Competitive Local Government Unit, Most Competitive: Infrastructure and also received a special award from the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines for garnering the most number of intellectual property filings.
Quezon City placed second and third in the Most Competitive: Innovation and Most Competitive: Resiliency award categories, respectively.
The recognitions were conferred on the local government during the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index 2024 awarding ceremony at the Manila Hotel.
These recognitions are confirmation of the good work of the city government for the welfare of all QCitizens,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
“We dedicate these awards to our partners in serving the city government and to the QCitizens who unceasingly trust in the city’s ability to serve,” she added.
The awards would help fuel the city government’s aspiration to further uplift lives and improve the delivery of service to QCitizens.
The city was recognized as an Overall Most Competitive Local Government Unit since becoming a Hall of Famer in 2019.
