For the third time, this city of more than 150 people was adjudged the cleanest and greenest component city in Western Visayas in the Gawad Pangulo sa Kapaligiran program of the Office of the President, besting Sagay City (2nd) and Victoria City (3rd), both in Negros Occidental. 

The Dumarao town in Capiz was voted first for Category A municipalities. Other two winners in this category are Miag-ao in Iloilo (2nd) and Kalibo, the capital town of Aklan (3rd).
