𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 | The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region XI joined the Technology Transfer Ceremony of two innovative digital governance systems developed by 4th-year BS Information Technology students, SINAG and PULSE, on May 12, 2026, at the Sangguniang Bayan Session Hall. Present during the activity were Assistant Regional Director Charissa T. Guerta, CESO V, LGCDD OIC-Division Chief Atty. Camille E. Flores, MLGOO Giovanni Kish C. Basilgo, Municipal Mayor Jimmy S. Sagarino, OIC-Provincial Director Raymund C. Olivo, CESE, other Municipal and Barangay Officials of Sulop, Dr. Tessie G. Miralles, and the BS IT faculty, staff, and students from the University of Mindanao – Digos College.

SINAG, an integrated digital platform for the Seal of Good Local Governance for Barangays (SGLGB) assessment process in the Municipality of Sulop, was introduced to streamline barangay governance assessment and monitoring.

The system enables barangays to conduct self-assessment, upload documentary requirements, and respond to feedback through a centralized platform, while assessors and validators facilitate review, rework, and calibration processes to ensure transparency and accuracy.

The system also features an automated Assessment and Evaluation Module based on the SGLGB 3+1 rule, a secure Means of Verification (MOV) database, and AI-powered governance insights capable of generating summaries, identifying common errors, and recommending areas for technical assistance and capacity development. To further strengthen monitoring and reporting, SINAG provides real-time dashboards, activity logs, performance widgets, and an interactive map displaying the assessment status of barangays in Sulop.

Meanwhile, PULSE was likewise launched as part of the municipality’s continuing innovation initiatives aimed at improving governance systems, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making in local administration.

The launching and turnover of SINAG and PULSE highlight the commitment of DILG XI, the Municipality of Sulop, and the University of Mindanao – Digos College in promoting innovation, digital transformation, and responsive local governance through collaborative and technology-driven solutions.
