Among the validating team that visited the city during the search were Yvette C. Cosio of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, Annette Timbol of the National Economic & Development Authority, Melanie Barnatcheta of DSWD, and Terie Celerio of Reception & Study Center for Children.Besides the plaque, the city also won a P50,000 cash incentive from the DSWD.
