RESOLUTION NO. 80
(Series of 2008)

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE SANGGUNIANG PANLALAWIGAN OF ZAMBALES TO DECLARE VOID THE ORDINANCE COLLECTING THREE HUNDRED PESO-WORK PERMIT TO NON-RESIDENTS OF SUBIC, WORKING AT HANJIN SHIPYARD

WHEREAS, the Municipality of Subic, Zambales passed Municipal Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2008, requiring all non-Subic resident workers to secure Work Permit at a cost of Three Hundred Pesos;

WHEREAS, consequently, Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction issued a memorandum to all workers requiring them to secure work permit in compliance to the said ordinance;

WHEREAS, Hanjin workers who are bonafide residents of Olongapo sought the assistance of Mayor James Gordon, Jr. through a letter dated May 11, 2008 to intervene on their behalf since the cost for the required permit will serve as additional burden to the already heartrending plight of the workers, in this difficult time that the prices of basic commodities had soared up;

WHEREAS, the workers further stressed in their letter that their workplace (Hanjin) is under the locational jurisdiction and governance of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and as such they should have been exempted from the requirements provided by the said ordinance unless the SBMA Administration said so;

NOW, THEREFORE, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sanggunian Panlungsod present,

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled to request, as it hereby requests the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Zambales to declare void the Ordinance collecting Three Hundred Peso-Work Permit to non-residents of Subic, working at Hanjin Shipyard.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Zambales, Sangguniang Pambayan of Subic, Zambales, Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority and DILG for their information and appropriate action.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, May 28, 2008.
