RESOLUTION NO. 89
(Series of 2008)

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE 2008 OLONGAPO CITY FIESTA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH A LEGITIMATE CARNIVAL AND BAZAAR OPERATOR AS PART OF THE CITY FIESTA ACTIVITIES

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo has positioned itself as a prime tourist destination for Luzon;

WHEREAS, the fact of being touted as the tourist destination for Luzon received an extra boost with the opening of Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) which undoubtedly made it more convenient for tourists to reach Olongapo;

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo is preparing to embark on a bold step to further improve the Olongapo City Fiesta activities to further lure tourists into coming to Olongapo City;

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo cannot rest on its laurels but rather needs to constantly upgrade its tourist attractions and hence, would need a legitimate and experienced carnival and night bazaar operator for the management and operation of part of the City Fiesta activities;

WHEREAS, there is a need to immediately market and promote the Olongapo City Carnival and Night Bazaar as part of the City Fiesta activities, for the efficient operation and management thereof;

WHEREAS, the operation and management of a carnival and night bazaar is best delegated to a legitimate and experienced operator to avoid any liability and ensure smooth operation, leaving the 2008 City Fiesta Executive Committee to focus on other equally important City Fiesta activities;

NOW, THEREFORE, upon joint motion of Councilors Angelito W. Baloy, Elena C. Dabu and Gina G. Perez, with the unanimous accord of the Members of Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled to authorize, as it hereby authorizes, the 2008 Olongapo City Fiesta Executive Committee to enter into an agreement with a legitimate carnival and night bazaar operator as part of the City Fiesta activities.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, June 11, 2008.
