Being the Chairperson of the Committee on Rules, Privileges, Laws and

of 2021 and Sangguniang Barangay Resolution No. 50, Series of 2021 of Barangay 7-
A, Poblacion District, Davao City. He manifested that the Barangay recently
submitted the following documents in connection with their request: 1) Sangguniang

cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 4 of 35
 To allow the participation of Kagawad Yoyoy Italio, representative of
Barangay 7-A, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors
Braga, Acosta and Baluran, to convert the Body into the Committee of the Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Councilor Baluran noticed that Item No. 1486 has been in the agenda for
several weeks. He likewise pointed out that the matter might set a dangerous
precedent as other barangays might follow suit and convert their basketball courts
into parking space.

Subsequently, Councilor Dayanghirang asked Kagawad Italio whether there

are other areas in their barangay that may be used as parking space. Kagawad Italio
explained that the reason for converting the basketball court into a multi-purpose
facility is to accommodate the suggestions of their constituents. According to him,
sometime in the 1990s, a fire broke out in the area which devastated a lot of
residents because no fire truck could go into said area. At present, the area has
been subdivided properly but the current residents park their respective vehicles on
the road. The subject Barangay Ordinance aims to set the basket ballcourt as
parking space from 9 o’clock in the evening to 5 o’clock in the morning since no one
plays basket ball at that time and to free the roads of obstacles.

Councilor Dayanghirang thereafter interposed an objection based on the

following: 1) there is still a question as to the legality of allowing a basketball court
to be used as parking space; and 2) the barangay will be blocking the road if the
basketball court will be used as parking space as it will disturb the flow of traffic.
Allowing anybody to use public places like parks and playgrounds for a fee or
commercial purposes is inconsistent with law.

As a backgrounder, the proponent manifested that the committee already

sought the opinion of the City Treasurer as to the imposition of fees who opined that
the fees to be imposed are reasonable. The City Transport and Traffic Management
Office likewise interposed no objection since the area to be used as parking space is
not a road. The Department of the Interior and Local Government gave a template
of the Ordinance which was adopted by the barangay in toto. Moreover, Section 391
of Republic Act No. 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991 states that the
barangay is allowed to use multi-purpose halls, pavements, among others and charge
reasonable fees for the use thereof. Upon suggestion of Councilor Mahipus Jr., the
barangay passed a Resolution to use the basketball court as a multi-purpose hall so it
will fall under the provisions of R.A. No. 7160. The issue that needs to be resolved
is whether or not the property is owned by the barangay. The plan is to decongest
the area so that, in case of emergencies, ambulances, fire trucks, etc. will be able to
use the road. A public hearing was also conducted regarding the matter wherein the
residents of Barangay 7-A not only did not object to the proposal, but they also
supported it.

When Councilor Militar asked who owns the subject property, Councilor
Quitain Jr. answered that the Barangay has been using it for the last twenty (20)
years. All improvements on the property came either from congressional or
barangay funds. Although the title to the property was not yet submitted, there was
already a turnover from the owner to the barangay. Since the document could not
be located, the Members of the Sanggunian advised them to issue a Resolution
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 5 of 35
affirming the turnover of said property to the barangay. Councilor Militar
emphasized that they cannot claim ownership based only on a presumption, the
pertinent documents must be submitted. He cited the example of a barangay which
had a road wherein they constructed a basketball court. The said barangay collected
fees everytime a game is played on such court. The court ordered the closure of the
basketball court, pay the fine and imprisonment of four (4) months.

Kagawad Italio stated that he requested the Home Development Mutual Fund
(HDMF) or PAGIBIG for a photocopy of the title to the land which he will be able to
get the next day. Consequently, he requested that the item be deferred to the next
Regular Session when the copy of the title will already be available for scrutiny.

In turn, Councilor Mahipus Jr. suggested that, if the problem is to regulate the
vehicles parked on the streets and the purpose is public safety, they can use the
basketball court. However, the collection of fees might complicate things. Since
there were no other remarks, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilor J.M. Bonguyan, to revert to the plenary. Duly seconded by
Councilors Braga and Baluran, the subsequent motion to defer Item No. 1486 to
the next regular Session was approved.

After which, TPO Ungab declared a recess to let Councilor Abella take over the
duties of the Chair.

Engineer’s Office. In its legal opinion, the City Legal Office likewise stated that the
agreement in question has no legal infirmity. When the proponent presented a
motion for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report, it was duly
seconded by Councilors Baluran, Braga, Mande, Acosta and Abellera.

Prior to the ruling on the motion, Councilor Baluran expressed his gratefulness, in

Item No. 1632

For the next item under the same committee, Councilor Quitain Jr. discussed

among the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), the Bridges Management Cluster-
Unified Project Management Office (BMC-UPMO) of the Department of Public Works
and Highways (DPWH), Department of Public Works and Highways-Regional Office
XI, and the City Government of Davao, for the construction of Purok 9 Bridge in
Barangay Sirawan, Toril, this City, under the Tulay ng Pangulo para sa Kaunlarang
Pang Agraryo Project (TPKP). The subject MOA is similar to the recently approved
one. The difference is only the location as the bridge to be built under the subject
MOA is located in Purok 9 in Barangay Sirawan. The City Budget Officer likewise
issued a certification that funds are available for the maintenance of the bridge.
After stating the recommendation to grant legislative authority to the City Mayor to
sign the agreement, the proponent presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors
Braga, Acosta, L'Dalodo-Ortiz and Baluran, for the approval and adoption of the

was also carried.

Item No. 1670

Afterwards, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented Item No. 1670 relative to the
request for legislative authority for the City Mayor to sign, the Memorandum of
Agreement to be entered into by and between the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) Region XI and the City of Davao, for the passage of
Sangguniang Panlungsod Resolution adopting the Yakap Bayan Program of
Intervention as the Strategy of the City in Addressing Drug Abuse and Addiction for
Recovering Persons Who Use Drugs (RPWUD).

The Yakap Bayan Program is a holistic intervention to assist RPWUDs in their

journey to recovery and to facilitate their social integration. Moreover, the said
program is a convergence of the programs and services of the national and local
governments, civil society organizations and faith-based organizations of community-
based rehabilitation and after-care programs of Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUDs).
Section 51 of Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the "Comprehensive
Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002" states the following:

“Section 51. Local Government Units' Assistance. – Local government

units shall appropriate a substantial portion of their respective annual
budgets to assist in or enhance the enforcement of this Act giving priority
to preventive or educational programs and the rehabilitation or treatment
of drug dependents.”

Addressing the query of TPO Abella, Councilor Quitain Jr. explained that the
Yakap Program is from the national government. To let the resource persons explain
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 8 of 35
the program further, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Braga and J.M. Bonguyan, to convert the Body into the Committee of the
Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Ms. Krisiel Joy Ubarde of the Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD) expounded that the Yakap Program aims to provide aftercare services and
social integration to Recovering Persons Who Use Drugs (RPWUD). They conduct
counselling sessions, health and fitness therapy, skills training and capacity building.
This is a priority program in line with the war on drugs of the government. It is a
complementary program with the City-owned drug rehabilitation center since they
only deal with the aftercare and reintegration services.

Following the succinct explanation of the DSWD representative, Councilor

Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor Acosta, to revert the
Body to the plenary. Duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Baluran, Acosta, L'Dalodo-
Ortiz and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, the motion for the approval and adoption of the
Committee Report was carried. Afterwards, Councilors Marohomsalic, Braga,

 Next, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented Item No. 1672 relative to the request
for legislative authority for the City Mayor to sign the Memorandum of Agreement
(DOH) to be entered into by and between the Department of Health and the City of
Davao, for the disbursement of funds by the City for the grant of Meals,

RECESS
(2:15 PM)

TEMPORARY PRESIDING OFFICER: COUNCILOR ALBERTO T. UNGAB

When the session resumed, TPO Ungab took over the duties of the Chair and
allowed Councior Quitain to continue presenting Item No. 1672.

After stating the recommendation of the committee to grant authority to the

City Mayor to sign the agreement, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilor Braga; co-sponsored by Councilors Dayanghirang, Baluran, Al-
ag, L'Dalodo-Ortiz, Acosta, Mande, J.M. Bonguyan, Abellera, Marohomsalic, Abella
and Librado-Morata, for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report.

Expressing his gratitude to the President, Councilor Dayanghirang noted that

the measure is long overdue. He then registered his co-sponsorship.

The motion presented by the proponent for the approval of the appropriate
Resolution was duly seconded by Councilors Braga, Baluran and J.M. Bonguyan; co-
sponsored by Councilor Baluran. Before the ruling on the motion, Councilor J.M.
Bonguyan expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Healthcare Workers who
continue to serve the public despite the threat of COVID-19.

When Councilor Mahipus Jr. asked if the emloyees of the City Government
who provided services in the facilities will be among the beneficiaries, the proponent
explained that the HRMO already prepared a list of those who are qualified as
beneficiaries. With a budget of PHP 7.5 Million, the said office already identified
2,154 beneficiaries.

To allow the HRMO representative to participate in the discussion and shed

light on the matter, Councilor Quitain Jr. presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilor Braga, to convert the Body into the Committee of the Whole.
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 10 of 35
 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

In reply to the query of Councilor Braga, the proponent manifested that the
subject financial assistance is a one time thing which covers only Healthcare Workers
who rendered services from September 15, 2020 to December 19, 2020.

Ms. Maricris Zosa, HRMO representative, manifested that, as of February

28, 2022, the HRMO has listed 3,989 beneficiaries and the total amount to be
disbursed is PHP13,961,500.00. They already submitted the list to the Department
of Health (DOH) but they are still waiting for the approval of the same. Councilor
Mahipus Jr. asked whether other workers who rendered allied services to the facilities
such as ambulance drivers and transport vehicle drivers are among the beneficiaries.
In reply, Ms. Zosa explained that HRMO already updated the list of beneficiaries
including those who rendered allied services and duly accredited and registered
Barangay Health Workers. Volunteer Health Workers are not included based on the
Administrative Order, thus, Councilor Mahipus suggested that the City will grant
financial assistance to them.

Councilor Dayanghirang commented that the approach to the matter

should be inclusive. Thereupon, he suggested an amendment in order to include
barangay paid Health Workers and let the executive determine who will be given
assistance. To this, the proponent clarified that the intention of the government
had always been to include everyone in the ayuda, nonetheless, there is budgetary
constraints that must also be considered. The disbursement for the MAT Assistance
is in accordance with the guidelines established under Administrative Order No. 2020-
0054, thus, it cannot be amended by the City.

Citing the same Administrative Order, Councilor Dayanghirang stated that the
Health Workers (HWs) refer to medical and allied health professionals, as well as
other personnel, whether technical/administrative/support, regardless of the nature
and status of employment/engagement, who are assigned in COVID-19 facilities.
Thus, the Administrative Order does not differentiate barangay paid from city paid
health workers. He then manifested that, as far as the City Council is concerned, it
includes barangay paid health workers. He further clarified that the City Council
believes that the guidelines include both city paid and barangay paid health workers.
Councilor Quitain Jr. thereafter asked Ms. Zosa to note the manifestations of
Councilor Dayanghirang.

Agreeing with the comments of Councilor Dayanghirang, Councilor Mahipus Jr.

stated that, indeed, the definition of Health Worker includes all Health Workers
regardless of the nature of their employment. For DOH to take cognizance of the
intention of the City Council to be inclusive, he proposed the passage of a corollary
Resolution urging the Department of Health to include Barangay Volunteer Workers
in the benefits granted by the national government.

Before the discussion ended, Councilor Dayanghirang manifested that the

Committee Report should incorporate the understanding that the understanding that
Barangay Paid Health Workers are included in accordance with the definition of
Health Workers under Administrative Order No. 2020-0054. Ms. Zosa reiterated that
duly accredited and registered barangay health workers are included in the list. In
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 11 of 35
conclusion, Councilor Quitain Jr. made it clear that the HRMO representative
stated that barangay health workers are considered eligibile health workers pursuant
to the established guidelines.

Duly seconded by Councilors Advincula, Braga and Marohomsalic, the motion

presented by Councilor Quitain Jr. to revert the Body to the plenary was carried.
After the pending motion for the approval of the Resolution was reiterated, duly
seconded by Councilor Braga; co-sponsored by Councilor Dayanghirang, the following
Resolution was approved:

RECESS
(3:15 PM)

Councilor Jesus Joseph P. Zozobrado III

Item No. 452

Duly recognized, Councilor Zozobrado III presented Item No. 452 relative to
the proposed turnover of the road lots, alleys and open spaces of Luzville Subdivision
located in Barangay Panacan, Bunawan District, Davao City, executed by LS
Properties Inc., represented by Mr. Arnold M. Dawa, in favor of the City of Davao. A
certificate of Completion was already issued by the Department of Human
Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD). Thus, the committee recommended
to accept the proposed turnover of road lots, alleys and open spaces of Luzville
Subdivision. The proponent proceeded to present a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Baluran, Apostol Sr., Al-ag and L'Dalodo-Ortiz, for the approval and
adoption of the Committee Report.

Prior to the approval of the motion, Councilor Mahipus Jr. posed the
question on whether the Chairperson was able to discuss with DHSUD regarding the
recurring problem of abandoned subdivisions. The Chairperson however made it
clear that, when he conducts Committee Hearings, he sticks with the agenda of the
same which did not include the question posed by the Councilor. Thereafter,
Councilor Mahipus Jr. stated that he is happy for the residents of Luzville then
signified his co-sponsorship.

In response to the query of Councilor Dayanghirang if there is a period

within which DHSUD must act on applications submitted to such office, the
proponent answered that, as to the effectivity of the Certification of Completion,
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 13 of 35
there is a period. The developer must act on it within the reglementary period. The
period applies only to the developer and it stops upon submission to the City Council
since they cannot control the august Body as to when it will approve the turnover.
On the part of the City Planning and Development Office, this must be referred to the
Citizen’s Charter of such office.

Councilor Zozobrado III reiterated his motion for the approval and adoption
of the Committee Report was duly seconded by Councilors Baluran, Braga and L.J.
Bonguyan; co-sponsored by Councilors L.J. Bonguyan, Mahipus Jr., and Baluran,
hence, it was carried. Councilor Apostol Sr. signified his co-sponsorship to the matter
and manifested that he is happy for the residents of Luzville especially because,
during his term as Punong Barangay of the area, there were government projects
that were not implemented because there was no turnover yet. For the Resolution,
the proponent presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors Al-ag, Baluran,
Braga, Abellera, Dayanghirang, Villafuerte and Apostol Sr.; co-sponsored by
Councilors Braga, Dayanghirang, Apostol Sr., Abellera, Villafuerte, J.M. Bonguyan,

co-sponsored by Councilors J.M. Bonguyan, Villafuerte, Braga, Apostol Sr., Justol-
Baguilod and Mahipus, for the approval of the Ordinance on Second Reading.

Item No. 1221

Next, Councilor Zozobrado III discussed Item No. 1221 relative to the
request of Goodluck Plastic Ventures, Inc., represented by Atty. Israelito P. Torreon,
Counsel, for inclusion in the amendments of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of
Davao City, the reclassification of property covered by TCT No. 146-2010007487
located at Purok 8, San Miguel, Barangay Indangan, Buhangin District, this City, from
Agricultural to Heavy Industrial Zone. All the necessary documents have already
been submitted by the applicant. The applicant undertook to ensure that trees in the
surrounding area will be retained and to plant additional trees to serve as pollution
barrier. They also plan to install natural and man-made noise and pollution devices
to maintain residential amenity of the adjacent areas. Although the original
application was to reclassify the area to Heavy Industrial Zone, the applicant heeded
the recommendation of the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) to
reclassify the area to MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL (I-2) SUB-ZONE instead.

Councilor Zozobrado III presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilor

Apostol Sr., for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report. Since there was
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 14 of 35
a question posed by Councilor Mahipus Jr., the proponent presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilor Braga, to convert the Body into the Committee of the Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Atty. Israelito P. Torreon, representative of Goodluck Plastic Ventures, Inc.,

explained that the applicant already has a warehouse in the area which eventually
will also have a manufacturing area. Addressing the questions of Councilor
Mahipus Jr., Atty. Torreon clarified that the applicant has dutifully complied with all
the requirements including the certification from the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) and the waste water compliance. He made it clear,
however, that the applicant will not be using recyclable materials. Councilor
Mahipus Jr. signified his co-sponsorship to the matter since the applicant has
complied with the requirements and the project will generate jobs.

A brief recess was later declared in order to welcome the Ambassador of Italy
to the Philippines His Excellency Marco Clemente, together with his party Consul
Antonio Gallo and Mr. Piero Lucarini.

RECESS
(3:34 PM)

Continuing with the discussion, Councilor Dayanghirang commented that

the project is a welcome development in the 2nd District. After Councilor Zozobrado
III categorically answered that the application under consideration has all the
qualifications and none of the disqualification, Councilor Dayanghirang registered his
co-sponsorship.

Invoking the general welfare clause, Councilor Baluran manifested that,

since the area is residential while the application is for a plastic factory, he will object
to the application if an ocular inspection of the area will not be performed. The item
will only be deferred for a week, just enough time to make an ocular inspection so
the Members of the Sanggunian may see the area. Atty. Torreon explained that
the area has already undergone several inspections by various government offices
and that an Affidavit of No Objection of all the residents in the area has been
attached to the application as Annex P. The area is only 11,783 square meters which
is not a big area. There will also be subcontracting of certain jobs so that jobs will be
generated for the nearby residents. The applicant has also been required to put up a
new system which will utilize waste water in order to minimize possible emissions.

Councilor Mahipus Jr. pointed out that the City’s personnel already
inspected the area. Being a resident of the 2 nd District, he manifested that he is very
familiar with the area and assured Councilor Baluran that said area is not very
populated. The people of Indangan needs the additional employment opportunities
too.

On his part, Councilor Zozobrado III manifested that he is amenable to the

deferment of the item in order for the other Member of the Body to appreciate the
matter further.

___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 15 of 35
 Councilor Dayanghirang noted that an ocular inspection is usually
performed only when there is a negative recommendation from the technical team.
He then expressed his wish that the views of the Councilors from the 2 nd District be
given more weight since they are the ones who know the area well.

Reiterating his earlier observations, Atty. Torreon stated that the area has
been inspected several times and that an Affidavit of No Objection has been attached
to the application. Upon the question of Councilor Braga on whether the applicant
already started operating, Atty. Torreon answered that they have indeed started
operating as a warehouse. However, they want to start manufacturing plastic
products already since the machines are already in the area.

Councilor Baluran opined that the area must be inspected since the applicant
might have already started operating as manufacturer of plastics. Although the
technical people approved the application, there may come a time when complaints
will be made before the Sanggunian and not the technical team.

Addressing the query of Councilor Abella, Atty. Torreon answered that the
applicant has been operating as a warehouse but said applicant wanted to expand its
business to manufacturing plastics. Councilor Abella then proposed that applications
for Preliminary Approval and Locational Clearance (PALC), Development Permit (DP),
and reclassification of property shall be forwarded to the Davao City Investment
Promotion Center (DCIPC), not to CPDO. He will then make two files - for CPDO
then to the Sanggunian Panlungsod. In conclusion, he also requested that the item
be deferred to the next Regular Session.

Thereafter, the proponent presented a motion, duly seconded by Councilors

Braga and Marohomsalic, to revert the Body to the plenary. This was followed by a
motion to withdraw the pending motion for the approval of the Committee Report
with a motion to defer Item No. 1221 to the next Regular Session. Councilors Abella,
Acosta and Marohomsalic duly seconded the motion, hence, it was carried. Councilor
Apostol Sr. commented that he will attend the ocular inspection. Councilor
Zozobrado III, upon the other hand, requested the CPDO to be present during the
inspection.

Item No. 1294

Proceeding with the next item under the agenda, Councilor Zozobrado III
discussed Item No. 1294 relative to the application of Adora B. Saldaña,
representative, Buendia Christiana Holdings Corporation/Giga ACE 9, Inc. (AC
ENERGY), for the reclassification of property consisting of an area of 17,959 square
meters, more or less, covered by TCT No. CL-7233, situated in Barangay Binugao,
Toril District, this City, from Agro-Industrial Zone to Heavy Industrial Zone. The
applicant fully complied with all the necessary requirements for the application for
reclassification. When the Technical Working Group recommended that the area be
reclassified from Agro-Industrial Zone to Utilities, Transportation and Services Zone
as provided in the amendment of the Zoning Ordinance, the committee as well as the
applicant agreed. The proponent then presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilor Villafuerte, for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report.

Prior to the ruling on the motion, Councilor Mahipus Jr. asked what kind of
industry will be established in the area. In response, Councilor Zozobrado III
___________________________________________________________________________________
cns/hce March 15, 2022/11th Regular Session (19th City Council) Page 16 of 35
manifested that the applicant will manufacture batteries. To let the applicant
participate in the discussion, Councilor Zozobrado III presented a motion, duly
seconded by Councilors Villafuerte and Acosta, to convert the Body into the
Committee of the Whole.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Mr. Agno, Project Development Manager of Davao Battery Energy Storage,

explained that they will install a 30 mega watt battery energy storage to store energy
from the national grid. The area is approximately 800 meters away from the NGCP
Toril Substation. It will function as an ancillary service to the grid, which means that
if there are fluctuations in the grid, the battery will release or absorb energy. It will
also function as an arbitrage facility so, if the price of electricity is low, it will absorb
energy while it will release energy if the prices are high.

Responding to the questions of Councilor Mahipus Jr., Mr. Agno manifested

that their project complements renewable energy since the battery storage absorbs
electricity from the grid. Whatever is already in the grid will be absorbed or released.
During the day, there is an oversupply of solar energy but there is no supply during
nighttime. The battery will absorb the energy during daytime and releases it at
nighttime. This is also applicable not only for solar but also for wind and hydro.
There are no plans yet to install solar energy plant since their area is small.
Furthermore, there will be no adverse environmental effect to the City.

On the question of Councilor Braga, Mr. Agno explained that they will sell
the energy back to the grid but that this is only one of the functions of the facility.
Their main function is to maintain the frequency required by the grid.

Replying to the question of Councilor Mahipus, Mr. Agno explained that the
facility is considered a power plant. As such, it falls under Energy Regulation No. 1-
94 wherein the host community gets PHP 0.01 one centavo per kilowatt per hour
(PHP 0.01/kwh) from the electricity sales of the generating companies. The City is
projected to receive PHP 2,000,000.00 per year. The applicant is under Ayala
Corporation.

In response to the question of Councilor Braga, Mr. Agno manifested that this
is already their second project in the Philippines. They have just started operating in
Alaminos.

Duly seconded by Councilor Braga, the motion presented by the proponent to

revert to the plenary was approved. The succeeding motion, duly seconded by
Councilor Braga, for the approval and adoption of the Committee Report was likewise
approved. Councilor Zozobrado III then presented a motion, duly seconded by
Councilors Marohomsalic and Braga, for the approval of the resolution below:

represented by Ms. Maria Belen P. Gerasol, President, for Preliminary Approval and
Locational CLearance (PALC) of their housing project located in Barangay Riverside,
Calinan District, this City. The members of the applicant are from the 2 nd District.
The committee found that the applicant complied with all the requirements, thus, it
recommended the approval of the application. Upon the motion of the proponent,
duly seconded by Councilor Braga, the Committee Report was approved. Upon
clarification sought by Councilor Apostol Sr., Councilor Zozobrado III explained that
this is not a relocation project.

Duly seconded by Councilors Apostol Sr., Abellera and Braga; co-sponsored by

Councilors L.J. Bonguyan, Apostol Sr., Braga and Baluran, the Resolution stated
