RESOLUTION NO. 29
(Series of 2009)

A RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE INTERCONNECTION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES OF SUBIC-CLARK-TARLAC GROWTH CORRIDOR

WHEREAS, Subic-Clark Alliance for Development (SCAD) was created to transform Subic and Clark into a world-class mega-logistics hub and a global gateway to the Asia Pacific Region and the rest of the world;

WHEREAS, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Growth Corridor is seen as one of the world’s major economic hubs and a catalyst for development hence a major employment generator in Northern Philippines, with no less than Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo acknowledging that it will become the hottest investment site;

WHEREAS, the Metro Clark Advisory Council (MCAC) moved for the immediate interconnection of telecommunications facilities in Clark Freeport Zone with those in Tarlac and Zambales;

WHEREAS, the interconnection of telecom facilities will result in making calls to interconnected areas considered as local calls thus will not only lower the cost for investors but will compliment the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway much more beneficial to the local constituents working in the growth corridor;

WHEREAS, Olongapo City in February 2, 2005 passed Resolution No. 11, Series of 2005 requiring telecom interconnection between Subic Bay Freeport, Olongapo City and Zambales;

WHEREAS, in July 2005, the telecommunication interconnection became a reality and with the advent of wireless landline technology, seamless communication in the region will surely make it a haven for investors and eventually result in more jobs for its people;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Edwin J. Piano with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to endorse, as it hereby endorses the interconnection of telecommunications facilities of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Growth Corridor

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished the Metro Clark Advisory Council, SCAD, SBMA, NTC and the provincial government of Tarlac, Pampanga, Bataan and Zambales for their information and appropriate action.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, March 04, 2009.
