A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY (DTI) TO WAIVE THE PERMIT FOR BUSINESS PROMOTION FOR CITYWIDE MEGA FIESTA BONANZA ON DECEMBER 28, 29 AND 30 IN CELEBRATION OF CITY FIESTA 2005.

WHEREAS, On December 30, 2005, the city will observe Rizal Day and the Grand City Fiesta where Olongapenos of all ages go out of their houses and lead to major streets of the city to witness the annual grand parade.

WHEREAS, a citywide “MEGA FIESTA BONANZA”, that will aim at providing sales, discounts, buy one take one, bargain, and similar sales and marketing/ promotion activities will entice people to go out of their homes and spend money. This will eventually help the business community in its desire to acquire additional revenues this yuletide season.

WHEREAS, the Department of Trade and Industry is the city’s local partner in its endeavor to grow and expand its trade and industry, creating more jobs and generating more revenues to reinforce the city’s socio-economic progress. By exempting the permit for the sales promotion activities scheduled for Citywide Mega Fiesta Bonanza 2005, it will be able to contribute in meeting such objectives.
