WHEREAS, at the advent of the oil spill in Guimaras Strait, the area had been quite impossible to live with, leaving no source of livelihood for its inhabitants dependent on the resources of the sea who are mostly fishermen, shell and seaweed vendors;

WHEREAS, the effect of the disaster is long term, affecting most number of people. The oil spill brought poverty which shall lead to poor nutrition and acquisition of diseases;

WHEREAS, Olongapo City would like to express its deep concern over the mounting health hazards facing the communities affected by the oil slick and join the national government’s campaign for relief of any form;

WHEREAS, with the pioneering spirit of volunteerism of the Olongapeños, this is our call once again to show this endearing attitude especially to our countrymen by giving a little of what we have and what we are about to trash which can still be useful in the absorption of oil spill in Guimaras;

WHEREAS, in support of the Task Force Guimaras attending to environmental and health issues, all Local Barber Shops, Beauty Salons, Poultry Owners and Residents of Olongapo are hereby requested to donate human hair and chicken feather to facilitate the oil assimilation in the affected areas of Guimaras;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Gina Gulanes Perez, with the unanimous accord of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to request, as it hereby requests all local barber shops, beauty salons, poultry owners and residents of Olongapo City to donate human hair and chicken feather that will help in the oil absorption of the oil spill in Guimaras.
