The Gawad Pamana ng Lahi (GPL), pursuant to EO 382, s. 1996, is an award that aims to give recognition to provinces, cities and municipalities that distinguish themselves in local governance. It is conferred to an LGU for exemplary performance in their state of local governance, awards from international organizations or national government agencies, and acknowledged innovations. The GPL has two award levels – the Regional Gawad and the National Gawad.  Each level applies different focus of assessment and criteria.  For the Regional Gawad, the assessment focuses on local government performance using assessment tools as follows: (1) Local Governance Performance Management System or LGPMS, (2) Seal of Good Housekeeping, and (3) assessment of innovation and awards.  Winners of the Regional Gawad are to be further evaluated using higher performance standards, assessment of outcomes based on official statistical records and on-site validation of experts coming from the academe, CSOs, and the private sector. The Award accords government recognition to exemplary performance. It is also an instrument to scale-up the valuing of accountability, transparency and inclusivity in local administration and development.

Bagging the regional award, the municipality was measured against 5 other  municipalities regardless of class for the National Gawad Pamana ng Lahi. The municipality was pitted against Carmona City in Cavite for the top spot, a first class city. Carmona City bagged the National Gawad Pamana ng Lahi by a narrow margin, but still Jagna, a third class municipality, takes pride in being pitted against a first class municipality.
