September 3, 2007

Ms. Elflida Salmon,
Council Secretary

Dear Ms. Salmon,

Seven years has past when this horrific Criminal Case No. 26174 for violation of Sec. 3 (e) of Republic Act 3019 graft and corrupt practices was first filed against one of Olongapo City Most Trusted Public Servant (27 years in service and counting) by some people who are up to fame and power. It cost severe moral damage to the accused not to include the hassle and financial glitch that she went thru in the process. But indeed the truth will prevail.

And so, the long wait is over. Truly God is so powerful… Attached here a copy of the final decision of the Sandiganbayan stating that Hon. Cynthia G. Cajudo is acquitted from such criminal violation.

Therefore, now is the time to reinforce trust, cooperation, and the clean political reputation which was temporarily tarnished thereby causing perplexity to the people of Olongapo that she served most of her life.

With this copy of the decision of the Sandiganbayan be forwarded to the Council documents custodian for future reference and proper custody. Furthermore the Secretariat should cause the circulation of the attached documents to our local newspaper. And please allow this letter to be read during Sangguniang Panlungsod Session.

Thank you and more power.

Very truly yours,

Marey Beth Marzan (Sgd)
City Councilor.

CC: to the Mayor's Office and also to Councilors.

Committee Reports

Councilor Perez first reported on the Tourism Awareness Seminar and Strategic Planning conducted on August 30, 2007 at the Olongapo City Convention Center Function Room. It was attended by 80 tourism stakeholders. The invited speakers were Dir. Ronnie P. Tiotuico of DOT Region III and Mr. Nilo Agustin. The two discussed the following for the morning session: The Tourism Situationer, which gave an update of the International and Local Tourism; the Planning of Eco-Tourism Products; and Overview of Tourism in Central Luzon.

In the open forum, right after the discussion, issues raised were the increasing number of side-walk vendors which were already affecting the market of the mall and public market tenants. The huge amount of garbage in our rivers and the role of the hotels and restaurants in local tourism were also raised.

The Councilor, likewise, reported the activities done in the afternoon where the participants were grouped into three: the Planning group, the Marketing group and the Standard/Accreditation group. Led by the guest speaker, Mr. Agustin, the activity sought the products that the city can be known for in three periods for immediate, short term and long term. After relaying to the body what the seminar was about, she thanked all those who attended who made the endeavor a success.

For the second report, Councilor Perez informed the body that the Clean Up Drive is scheduled on September 22 while the Tourism Summit is set in September 25.

Regarding the Philippine Councilors League-Olongapo, the Councilor requested all the Council Members that they may already submit their PCL Membership forms duly filed-out on or before September 6, 2007, Thursday, so that they can be submitted to the Head Office on Friday. She reminded the body that her office provided each of the Councilor a copy the following documents: the PCL Membership Application Form and Personal Data Sheet; the PCL ID Information Sheet; Memorandum Circular No. 2007 – 78 and 79; PCL Policy No. 98-15 for the election guidelines; and the PCL Constitution and By-Laws.

Lastly, Councilor Perez informed the body that the memorandum requesting the participation of the Councilors in the student consultation set on Sept. 13 from 9:00 am-12:00 nn at the Olongapo City Convention Center in celebration of the PCL week was moved to September 20, same time and venue. This was due to the DILG invitation to attend the General Orientation Program in September 12-14 at Clarkfield, Pampanga.

The Presiding Officer said that the Council regular session was reset on Tuesday in lieu of the mentioned DILG seminar at Clark.

Councilor Ellen Dabu, Chairman of the Committee on Livelihood reported her Committee’s undertakings.

First, the Councilor said that the Barangay Livelihood Consultation Program was held on September 3, 2007 at Barangay East Bajac-Bajac. Present were the Barangay Capt., Brgy Councilmen and Barangay East Bajac-Bajac residents. The creation of a small cooperative to help in the livelihood projects of the barangay was discussed. She added that the “Samahan ng Kababaihan of Barangay East Bajac-Bajac which she organized will conduct a Pre-Membership Education Seminar.

Second, the Councilor enumerated the plans and actions for 2007 of the Olongapo City Cooperative Development Council for which she is the Chairman. Activities for the Technical and Management Training for small and new cooperatives include:

a. Leadership / Trainers Training
b. Practical Cooperative Accounting and Bookkeeping.
c. Capability Team – Building for the Cooperative
d. Training / Workshop or saving mobilization and capital build up.
e. Training / Workshop of Pre – Membership Education Seminar.
f. Cooperative Market Training
g. Cooperative Risk Management Training
h. Conference / Workshop on the Strengthening of Cooperative Banks.

Councilor Dabu explained that the Olongapo City Cooperative Development Council shall serve as a referral body which shall endorse interested cooperatives to credible offices, institutions or agencies that offer cooperative technical and management trainings free of charge or low fees. It will also initiate an assistance to federate non-agri/non-transport multi-purpose cooperative by providing information to assist and facilitate research, business and sourcing endeavors of various cooperatives.

Lastly, Councilor Dabu mentioned that on Sept. 7, 2007, she, together with the Brgy. Capt of Brgy. Pag-asa, Asinan and East Bajac-Bajac will meet with the management of Subic Bay Industrial Park and with Administrator Arreza regarding the scrap items that the Subic Bay Industrial Park factories may donate for the livelihood projects.

Councilor Marzan, for her Committee gave an explanation to the letter/inquiry of Brgy Kagawad Lydia Demorse dated Aug. 15 referred to her by the Presiding Officer.

According to her, the question on hand is whether the stated part of Resolution No. 7, 2007 of Brgy Barretto regarding the “securing of permit and license by whoever will be awarded the right to operate, is in conflict with Section 391, Paragraph II of the Local Government Code which states the barangay powers, duties and functions. Councilor Marzan said that the permit referred to in the said barangay resolution pertains to section 3 of City Ordinance No. 49, Series of 2005 which states that the owners/operators of carnivals or mini-fairs must secure business permit from the City.

In Section 391, Paragraph 11, it was stated that the Sangguniang Barangay, as a legislative body, may hold fund-raising activities without securing permit. The Councilor further explained that what was mentioned in Resolution No. 7, Series of 2007 of Brgy. Barretto was the business permit/license to operate to be secured by the private entity awarded to operate the mini-fair, which is different from the permit to hold a fund-raising activity in Paragraph 11, Section 391 of the Local Government Code. Thus, she concluded that the said barangay resolution is not in conflict with the provisions of the Local Government Code, and it conforms with the provisions of City Ordinance No. 49, Series of 2005.

The next topic was not a committee report but a suggestion given by Councilor Piano regarding the offer of the publisher of Ozisero for the Council to avail of its subscription. He suggested that the Council subscribe for each Councilor, totaling 12, and another for routing to the staff and for filing of local news.

The Presiding Officer was amenable to it but recommended to determine if there is a budget for it and then afterwards, they may pass a resolution.

There being no other committee report, the Presiding Officer apprised the body of her activities. First, she said that she was invited by the PMMA (Philippine Merchant Marine Academy) to represent the city to their program to honor Governor Amor Deloso. She added that she was fortunate to have attended the said program because she was able to greet the governor for his birthday which is the following day.

Second, the Presiding Officer mentioned that she was able to watch the Silent Drill.

Third, she was able to see the so called “Simulator” and she got to experience how it works. High technology computers from Germany set with computer programs are installed in a big building like a program on how ships are being run, how it actually feels when you are in it can be experienced in the “Simulator”. She told the body that they may ask the host to invite them again if they are interested.

Lastly, the Presiding Officer said that, that afternoon she greeted the Mayor and delegation of the Province of Leyte, City of Baybay.
